1 Introduction The LS 4071 is a high performance scanner that lets you scan a bar code and transmit it 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. Scanning Made Easy To install the scanner or change the different programmable parameters of the LS 4071, see the Product Reference Guide.
2 Ready, Test, Scan Ready Make sure connections are secure, and the battery pack is charged. The battery must be charged before the scanner’s initial use, and after each day’s use. Placing the scanner in its base station between uses will help maintain the battery’s charge. Be sure the scanner is “paired” to the base station by scanning the Pairing bar code on the base. Test Aim the scanner away from you and press the trigger. When you press the trigger, the scanning beam is energized for approximately 3.
3 Aiming Scan the Entire Symbol • Your scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol. • The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner. • Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together. • A short, high tone beep from the base indicates a good decode.
4 Hold at an angle Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone”. You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and still achieve a successful decode. Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
5 What Does The Beep Mean? When you hear 1 beep (short high tone) it means data has been decoded successfully. If any other beeps are heard, contact the technical person in charge of scanning. What If... If the scanner is not operating according to your needs, contact the technical person in charge of scanning. If there is no one in charge of scanning, call the Symbol Support Center at 1-800-653-5350.
6 Host Types When using an RL475 system, select one of the bar codes below to communicate with an IBM 468X/9X host. Port 5B Port 9B Port 17 Note: To properly communicate with 468X/9X terminals, the driver corresponding to the port being used must be loaded and enabled when you are configuring your terminal system. See your terminal’s operating manual for details.
7 Host Types RS-232C Host Types Three RS-232C hosts are set up with their own parameter default settings. Selecting the ICL, Fujitsu or Nixdorf RS-232C terminal sets the defaults listed on the following page. These defaults take precedence over Standard RS-232 defaults. So, if you’ve selected Fujitsu RS-232C, then select the Standard RS-232 defaults, the Fujitsu defaults still take precedence. To return to the factory set defaults, scan the SET ALL DEFAULTS bar code below.
