This Motorola LS3408-ER black-and-yellow extended-range rugged handheld 1D barcode scanner reads and decodes one-dimensional (1D) barcodes, including GS1 and RSS symbologies, and has an IP65-rated housing for use in rough environments. The scanner has 650-nm laser aiming dot to assist in precise scanning, and the extended-range focus is flexible and can read successive labels at varying distances from 1/4" to 45 ft. The Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) allows the user to modify the barcode data before transmitting it to the host computer. The LEDs and audible signal indicate the status of a scan. With the on-board multiple interface, the scanner connects to a host (not included) using a USB, RS-232, or IBM 468xx/9x cable, or keyboard wedge (sold separately). An integrated metal hook permits hanging or attaching to machinery.

* L is length, the horizontal distance from left to right; W is width, the horizontal distance from front to back; H is height, the vertical distance from bottom to top.

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.
