Scanning Made Easy

The LS 3603 features Symbol Technologies’ patented “fuzzy logic” technology.
This innovation provides artificial intelligence that compensates for poor
quality bar codes and gives the LS 3603 the best first-time read rate anywhere.

This scanner successfully reads most code symbologies, densities, and colors,
produced by a wide range of printing techniques. See the LS 3603 Decode Zone
on

page 1-11

.

With a simple cable change, the LS 3603 is compatible with:

RS-232C asynchronous terminals.

Wand based systems and most Batch and RF portable data collection

terminals that support a digital wand input.

Synapse™ “Smart Cables” which allow you to connect to:

- IBM 4683/4, 4693/4 series of terminals.

- All leading OCIA terminals, including NCR, Nixdorf, and ICL.

- Terminals using an XT, AT or PS/2-style keyboard. (When used as a

keyboard wedge, all scanned data is entered into your terminal in the
form of keystrokes. No software changes to your host system are
necessary.)

- Popular OCR terminals, such as Fujitsu and ICL.

The LS 3603 scans automatically at the rate of 36 scans per second. For decode
capability, see Technical Specifications beginning on
