List Price $ 1,695

Breakthrough Design and Ergonomics for Unsurpassed 2-D and 1-D Scanning

Symbol Technologies took the most advanced, high-speed 2-D laser technology and combined it with easy-to-use "aim-and-shoot" operation for fast, unmatched scanning performance both on PDF417 and 1-D bar code symbologies. The ergonomic design of the LS 4800 features an integrated decoder and optional integrated battery pack for portable scanning applications. What's more, this breakthrough scanner costs little more than a typical high-performance 1-D laser scanner.

PDF417: Much More than Meets the Eye

Developed by Symbol Technologies, PDF417 is a 2-D symbology that functions as a high-density, high-capacity "portable data file" to provide low-cost access to large amounts of information without the need to link to an external database: a single PDF417 symbol can encode more than a kilobyte of data - up to 100 times the capacity of a linear bar code of similar size. Entire shipping labels, manifests, equipment calibration information, vehicle registrations and much more all become instantly machine-readable using PDF417. Curious about PDF 417?   In fact, the Automotive Industry Action Group, the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the U.S. Department of Defense, and other leading standards organizations have all selected PDF417 as their 2-D symbology standard.

When Productivity is Important, Performance is Essential

With Symbol's exclusive "Aim Spot" and "Smart Raster" capabilities, the LS 4800 ensures your scanning challenges aren't very challenging at all: symbols are easily located even in bright sunlight, symbol heights are dynamically matched to the scan pattern, and­at 560 scans per second­quickly decoded. The LS 4800 also includes these design features:

  • Resonant 2-D scan engine for unsurpassed reliability.
  • Optional built-in battery pack for portable applications.
  • Flash memory for easy firmware upgrades.
  • Integrated RS-232 interface for direct connection to your host computer system or to a portable terminal.
  • Unique Synapse "smart cable" for instant interface with a wide variety of systems.
  • Quick disconnect cables for rapid replacement and complete flexibility between applications.

The ergonomic advances built into the LS 4800 include:

  • Single scanner solution for 1-D and PDF417 applications.
  • IntelliStand option for hands-free operation.
  • Comfortable grip and lightweight design for effortless, continuous use.
  • Rugged, sealed housing that easily withstands 5-ft./1.5 m drops to
