Introduction  
The LS 4208 scanner combines excellent scanning performance and advanced  
ergonomics to provide the best value in a lightweight laser scanner. Whether used as a  
hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner ensures comfort and  
ease of use for extended periods of time. Before programming the scanner, scan the  
appropriate bar code(s), beginning on page 5, to communicate with the host.

SINGLE LINE ONLY - No up and down scan line movement (no raster).  
MULTI-LINE SMART RASTER - The scan line begins as a single line and moves up  
and down (rasters) when a partial scan of a bar code is detected, or no bar code is  
decoded 500 ms after the trigger is pulled.

Host Type  
If a Synapse cable is used (i.e., part number STIxx-xxxx), the scanner autodetects the  
Synapse cable and there is no need to scan bar codes to enable the Synapse host.  
If a USB interface is used, the scanner autodetects the USB and defaults to the HID  
keyboard interface. See page 8 to select the IBM hand-held host type. Refer to the LS  
4208 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, for additional USB host types.  
If a Keyboard Wedge, RS-232, Wand Emulation, Scanner Emulation, or IBM 46XX is  
used, the appropriate host type must be scanned. Select the appropriate host type from  
the bar codes that follow.
