The Motorola LS3408-FZ20005R handheld barcode reader is yellow and black in color and can be used to scan and decode linear one-dimensional (1D) and GS1 DataBar barcodes and 14-digit Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs). A 650-nanometer (nm) laser produces a single line of light that can scan low-quality barcodes at a speed of up to 36 scans per second in continuous mode, and that can read a standard Universal Product Code (UPC) from up to 24" away. An LED indicator turns red to alert the user of a decoding error. A beeper makes the barcode reader suitable for loud work environments. Built-in flash memory allows the barcode reader to be updated and customized while in use. A cable (sold separately) and on-board interfaces can be used to connect the barcode reader to a computer or host system to transmit barcode data. The barcode reader's housing is sealed to protect against water and dust. Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) allows the user to modify the barcode data before transmitting it to the host computer. This product weighs 12.35 oz. and measures 7.34 x 2.93 x 4.82 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) It can withstand 50 drops of up to 6.5' on a concrete floor. A stand (sold separately) enables the barcode reader to be used in a fixed position.Barcode scanners, also known as barcode readers, can be used to scan and decode barcodes and to transmit barcode data to a computer or another host system. Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection. Many barcode readers have a handle for handheld use and come with a stand or a charging cradle for fixed position applications, while others are designed for stationary use on a counter or another flat surface. Some portable readers are small enough to be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard. Barcode readers are used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale (POS) locations and in warehouses and shipping facilities.Motorola Solutions manufacturers mobile computing devices, radios, tables, and data capture devices such as barcode scanners and RFID products. The company, founded in 1928, is headquartered in Schaumburg, IL.
