LI4278 KEY FACTS

• The ergonomic design of the LI4278 provides an easy and comfortable grip, enabling high volume scanning with no strain. Underneath its clean aesthetic design is a high performance, patent-pending single board construction that maximizes robustness and durability for reliable scanning.
• Captures virtually all 1D barcodes on any surface – traditional paper labels or on the screens of mobile phones, tablets, or computers. The LI4278 enables the implementation of programs such as mobile loyalty to drive customer retention and engagement
• Using Bluetooth Class II v2.1 technology, data transfer from the scanner back to the host is seamless and secure. In the event that the scanner is taken out of radio range, the LI4278 has the ability to store barcodes in its in-built memory and transfer this data back to the host when it returns to radio range, ensuring there is no loss to worker productivity.
• The LI4278 is available in twilight black or cash-register white colors, conveniently matching the designs of the major retail Point-of-Sales terminals.
