Chapter 1 The LS 4071 Scanner
Scanning Made Easy
The LS 4071 scanner lets you scan a bar code and transmit the data to a base
station up to 10 feet (3 meters) away, without a physical cable to limit your
movement. Instead, the scanner communicates with the base station
through a low power radio transmission.
The base station also serves as a charging station for the scanner’s battery pack.
There are two systems from which to choose.
•
LS 4074 - An LS 4071 scanner and an RL474 base station. This system
allows you to communicate with an RS-232 host with a direct connect
cable, or to most other terminal types by using a Symbol Synapse™ Smart
Cable.
•
LS 4075 - An LS 4071 scanner and an RL475 base station. This system is
compatible with the entire line of IBM 468X/469X terminals. Like the
RL474, this base station also accommodates the full line of Synapse Smart
Cables.
Additionally, there are different laser classes and transmission frequencies
for various global locations. Ask your Symbol representative for specific
information.
The LS 4071 successfully reads most code symbologies, densities, and colors,
produced by a wide range of printing techniques, and scans at the rate of 36
scans per second. See the LS 4071 Decode Zone on page 3-4.
