Introduction
The Symbol LS4208 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 7, to communicate with the host.
Parts
Inserting and Removing the Interface Cable
To connect the interface cable, insert the interface cable’s modular connector into the
cable interface port.
To remove the interface cable, unplug the installed cable’s modular connector by
depressing the connector clip with the tip of a screwdriver.

Scanning
Beeper Definitions
The scanner issues different beep sequences and patterns to indicate status. The table
below defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while
programming the scanner.
Beeper Sequence Indication
Standard Use
Low/medium/high beep Power up.
Short high beep A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is
enabled).
4 long low beeps A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol.
The data is ignored. This occurs if a unit is not properly
configured. Check option setting.
5 low beeps Conversion or format error.
Lo/hi/lo beep ADF transmit error.
Hi/hi/hi/lo beep RS-232 receive error.
Parameter Menu Scanning
Short high beep Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence
performed.
Lo/hi beep Input error, incorrect bar code or “Cancel” scanned, wrong
entry, incorrect bar code programming sequence; remain
in program mode.
Hi/lo beep Keyboard parameter selected. Enter value using bar code
keypad.

LED Definitions
In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using a
two-color LED display. The table below defines LED colors that display during
scanning.
Hi/lo/hi/lo beep Successful program exit with change in the parameter
setting.
Low/hi/low/hi beep Out of host parameter storage space. Scan Set Defaults
on page 7.
Code 39 Buffering
Hi/lo beep New Code 39 data was entered into the buffer.
3 Beeps - long high beep Code 39 buffer is full.
Lo/hi/lo beep The Code 39 buffer was erased or there was an attempt to
clear or transmit an empty buffer.
Lo/hi beep A successful transmission of buffered data.
Host Specific
USB only
4 short high beeps Scanner has not completed initialization. Wait several
seconds and scan again.
Scanner gives a power-up
beep after scanning a USB
Device Type.
Communication with the bus must be established before
the scanner can operate at the highest power level.
This power-up beep occurs
more than once.
The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where power
to the scanner is cycled on and off more than once. This is
normal and usually happens when the host PC cold boots.
RS-232 only
1 short high beep A <BEL> character is received and Beep on <BEL> is
enabled.
LED Indication
Off No power is applied to the scanner, or the scanner is on and ready to
scan.
Green A bar code was successfully decoded.
Red A data transmission error or scanner malfunction occurred.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solutions
Nothing happens
when the trigger is
pulled.
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.
Laser comes on,
but symbol does
not decode.
Scanner is not
programmed for
the correct bar
code type.
Ensure the scanner is programmed to read
the type of bar code scanned.
Refer to the Symbol LS4208 Product
Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, for
more information.
Bar code symbol is
unreadable.
Check the symbol to ensure it is not defaced.
Try scanning test symbols of the same bar
code type.
Distance between
scanner and bar
code is incorrect.
Move the scanner closer to or further from
the bar code.
Symbol is decoded
but not transmitted
to the host.
Scanner is not
programmed for
the correct host
type.
Scan the appropriate host type bar code.
Scanned data is
incorrectly
displayed on the
host.
Scanner is not
programmed to
work with the host.
Ensure proper host is selected.
Check the scanner’s host type parameters or
editing options.
For RS-232, ensure the scanner’s
communication parameters match the host’s
settings.
For a keyboard wedge configuration, ensure
the system is programmed for the correct
keyboard type, and the CAPS LOCK key is
off.
Ensure editing options (e.g., UPC-E to
UPC-A conversion) are properly
programmed.

Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, for
more information.

Programming Bar Codes
Following are some frequently used programming bar codes.
NOTE For additional host types, refer to the Symbol LS4208 Product
Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, available on the LS4208 CD, or
on the Symbol website: http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/manuals.
Set Defaults
Scan SET DEFAULTS to set all parameters to their default values.
SET DEFAULTS
Scanning Modes
Scan the appropriate bar code below to determine the scanning pattern.
•SINGLE LINE ONLY - No up and down scan line movement (no raster).
•MULTI-LINE SMART RASTER - The scan line begins as a single line and moves up
and down (rasters) when a partial scan of a bar code is detected, or no bar code is
decoded 500 ms after the trigger is pulled.
•MULTI-LINE ALWAYS RASTER (default) - Rastering (up and down scan line
movement) begins immediately.

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 10 to select the IBM hand-held host type. Refer to the
Symbol LS4208 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, for additional USB host
types.
If a Keyboard Wedge, RS-232, Wand Emulation, Scanner Emulation, or IBM 46XX is
used, the appropriate host type must be scanned. Select the appropriate host type from
the bar codes that follow.
