Image Scanning with Best-in-Class Performance

Symbol introduces the Vision System 4000 Series of hand-held imagers for reading all major bar code symbologies  with the added capability of image capture.  Based on the ergonomic design of the LS 4000 Series of hand-held scanners, the VS 4000 combines best in class performance with award winning ergonomics. 

For existing 1D applications, the VS 4000 provides robust working range on 1D codes, such as 13 in./33 cm on 100% UPC, with the added benefit of omnidirectional scanning.  More importantly, the VS 4000 delivers functionality to support the growing number of 2D applications

PDF417, Datamatrix, MaxiCode and Postal Code

Whether your requirement is to read DataMatrix for small item identification, MaxiCode for parcel sortation, postal codes for mail-handling applications, or PDF417 across a variety of applications, the VS 4000 provides the aggressive performance you need.

The VS 4000 High Density version was designed to read DataMatrix codes as small as .005" (5 mil), while providing user friendly working range on all other symbologies.

Image Capture

For image capture applications, the VS 4000 delivers clear VGA resolution images while providing the user total control over image attributes such as compression quality, transfer time, and file size.  User-selectable imaging options also allow the choice of a variety of industry-standard image file types.

Comfortable and Intuitive to Use

The VS 4000 is ergonomically contoured, light and easy to use…just what you have come to expect from Symbol! A bright laser generated pattern defines the imager's field of view, enabling point-and-shoot operation  for bar code applications and intuitive aiming for image capture applications.

Easy to Program

With an eye to the future, the VS 4000 is as easy to program as it is to use. With flash programming capability, Symbol made it a snap to update and reconfigure the imager, even in the field. This protects your technology investment and provides an easy upgrade path for new codes and features.
