    500 ms after the trigger is pulled. If the scanner detects a PDF417 (Symbol LS4208-PR only), GS1 DataBar, or Composite Code, it immediately rasters, opening to a full, optimized raster pattern as soon as the scanner is properly aligned over the bar code.

  • Page 29: Scanning Modes

    2 - 5 Scanning Modes The Symbol LS4208 accommodates both hand-held and hands-free modes. In hand-held use, you pull the trigger to activate the scan pattern and decode the bar code. In hands-free mode, the scanner sits in the Intellistand and automatically decodes a bar code presented in its field of view.
  • Page 30 Figure 2-7 Regardless of the scan mode, the scan line is smaller when the scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the scanner, and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the scanner.
  • Page 31 PDF symbol. For large PDF symbols, you may need to manually raster the scanner in order to cover the entire symbol. If the pattern does not cover the top and bottom of a PDF symbol, pull the scanner back until it does. Make sure the scan pattern extends beyond the edges of the bar code.

    Scanning 2 - 9 Scanning in Hands-Free Mode The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup,” the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free mode. When the scanner is removed from the stand, it automatically switches modes to operate in its normal hand-held triggered mode.
  • Page 34 2 - 10 Symbol LS4208 Product Reference Guide Scanning with Intellistand When the scanner is placed in the Intellistand, the scan pattern selected in hand-held triggered mode continues (see Scan Pattern on page 4-6). To operate the scanner in Intellistand: Ensure the scanner is properly connected to the host (see the appropriate host chapter for information on host connections).
