Scanning Modes
The LS4208 accommodates both hand-held and hands-free modes. In hand-held use, you pull the trigger to
activate the scan pattern and decode the bar code. In hands-free mode, the scanner sits in the Intellistand and
automatically decodes a bar code presented in its field of view.
Scanning in Hand-Held Mode
Install and program the scanner (see Setting Up the Scanner on page 1-3). For assistance, contact Motorola
Enterprise Mobility Support. See
page xv for contact information.
To scan in hand-held mode:
1. Ensure all connections are secure. (See the host chapter for the scanner.)
2. Aim the scanner at the bar code.
3. Press the trigger.

Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected (see Scan Line Width on
page 4-7). A full scan line width is the default. Medium and short scan line widths are useful for
scanning menus or pick-lists.
