National Barcode Symbol LS 4278 Review

Cordles scanners have become a more cost effiecient and viable option for many businesses today. The convenience of not being connected to a cable can help speed up any process. The Motorola LS4278 offers all the basic features you find in competing models like the Honeywell 3820, but also has a few very unique options. Most cordless scanners have a cradle that needs to be plugged into a PC and power source. The LS4278's cradle however, can run completely off of the USB port on your PC. This makes the scanner a perfect fit for cart appplications in a medical facility or warehouse floor since no power connection is needed. Likewise you can easily avoid the cradle and pair it directly to a mobile computer, tablet, or smartphone. The main advantage of the LS4278 over its competition is its flexibility. Any application that needs an easy to implemnet and operate cordless scanner will not go wrong with the LS4278..
