1 Introduction The LS 4208 scanner combines excellent scanning performance and advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a lightweight laser scanner. Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time. Before programming the scanner, scan the appropriate bar code(s), beginning on page 5, to communicate with the host.

4 LS 4208 Quick Reference Guide Troubleshooting Problem Nothing happens when the trigger is pulled. Possible Cause Possible Solutions No power to the scanner. Check the system power. Ensure the power supply is connected if the configuration requires a power supply. Interface/power cables are loose. Check for loose cable connections. Scanner is not programmed for the correct bar code type. Ensure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code scanned.
5 Programming Bar Codes Following are some frequently used programming bar codes. Note: For additional host types, refer to the LS 4208 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, available on the LS 4208 CD, or on the Symbol website: http://www.symbol.com/manuals.

6 LS 4208 Quick Reference Guide Host Type If a Synapse cable is used (i.e., part number STIxx-xxxx), the scanner autodetects the Synapse cable and there is no need to scan bar codes to enable the Synapse host. If a USB interface is used, the scanner autodetects the USB and defaults to the HID keyboard interface. See page 8 to select the IBM hand-held host type. Refer to the LS 4208 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, for additional USB host types.
