based marketing and mobile broadband. And with
the reasonably priced LI4278, your customers
have an affordable means to add mobile bar code
capabilities — one of the hottest new trends in
marketing that can help your customers strengthen
their relationships with their customers.
• Supports Light Industrial/Manufacturing
uses: The light industrial/manufacturing market
segment has specific requirements that are typically
addressed by special purpose solutions different
from the data capture devices in use in retail and
other environments. But with its unique blend of
capabilities, the LI4278 can also be used in light
industrial and manufacturing applications. The
LI4278 features an extensive reading range, so the
device can be used in workflow for reading/tracking
items including those tagged with smaller high
density bar codes used on miniatures, components,
electronics and subassemblies. The LI4278 may be
used to track work in progress as items are built or
integrated along the assembly line environment.
The LI4278 can also read extended range of over 20
ft./6m for those cases where stacked or out-of reach
items need to be scanned. And IP53 sealing makes
the LI4278 an ideal choice in those areas where dust
and dampness can degrade scanning performance.
Your customers can be sure the LI4278 will continue
to perform flawlessly even under adverse conditions.
• Reduces end user training: The LI4278 offers
an “out of the box” experience that allows users
of all skill levels to start scanning proficiently and
productively right away. Since little to no training
is needed, it is an ideal fit for retailers and other
organizations that face high employee turnover rates
and seasonal staffing.
• Provides flexibility to support more
applications with one scanner: With the LI4278,
Motorola has optimized linear imaging technology to
give customers the best possible performance under
the widest range of operating conditions possible.
Whether it’s reading small 3mil high density bar
codes, scanning all the way up to 31 in./78.7 cm
away or reading electronic 1D bar codes on a mobile
phone, the LI4278 can handle it all — and without
reconfiguration or reprogramming.
• Reduces total cost of ownership (TCO): With
durable drop specifications, single board construction
and a scratch resistant window, the LI4278 is built
for the tough environmental requirements in the
enterprise. The scanner offers dependable operation
day-in and day-out for maximum uptime and a low
TCO. Superior battery power management delivers
the largest number of scans per battery charge to
support scan intensive applications. And remote
management tools combine with industry leading all-
inclusive affordable service plans to keep devices in
the hands of your workforce practically every minute
of every working day.
Differentiators
The LI4278 offers a number of strategic and technical
product differentiators including:
• The right technology at the right time: We
have perfected the design characteristics of a
linear imager. In the LI4278, we’ve leveraged recent
advancements in linear imaging technology, using
optics and electronics components that are smaller,
faster, better and less expensive. We not only use
state of the art components, but also have focused
the design on what really matters — optimizing
the LI4278 for reliability, security, robustness and
battery life. The result is a solution that delivers the
best possible performance under the widest range of
operating conditions possible.
• Premium 1D scanning performance: Hands-
down, the LI4278 delivers:
– Best in class motion tolerance: The LI4278 is
at home in fast paced environments, including
retail and manufacturing. Workers can capture
a wide range of bar codes as fast as they can
present items — there’s never a need to pause
between scans or reprogram for the types of
codes being scanned.
– Superior angular tolerance: The LI4278 can
capture bar codes at even extreme angles, so
workers spend less time maneuvering or orienting
the scanner and more time on task.
