Scanning Made Easy

Symbol Technologies, the world leader in hand-held laser scanning, now offers 21st century
technology while maintaining compatibility with today's existing systems. Advanced
ergonomic design ensures comfortable use for extended periods of time.
The LS 4000P Series hand-held laser scanners offer the best performance for low volume,
price sensitive PDF417 scanning in retail, office and light industrial applications. These
scanners use a 650nm laser diode for improved scan line visibility, and have a scan rate of
approximately 200 scans/second. These factors make the LS 4000P appropriate for PDF
scanning, while retaining all capabilities for 1-D scanning.
The LS 4000P Series offers two configuration options:
The LS 4004P - This scanner contains onboard discrete RS-232C communications
!
for connecting to RS-232C asynchronous terminals, PCs, and host systems.
The LS 4006P - This scanner is fully compatible with the standard Keyboard Wedge
!
so that scanned data is entered into the host system as if it were typed.
