Motorola LI4278 Wireless Linear Imager
>>Camille: Hi, it's Camille with POSGuys.com. Today we're taking a look at Motorola's
LI4278 linear imager. This is one of my personal favorites.
It has a good scanning range, it's wireless, it has a great radio range of about 330 feet.
We did some durability testing on it which you
may or may not have seen, we'll link you the video,
and it is extremely durable, extremely well suited
for retail, and light-industrial uses. The LI4278 can scan from mobile phones. [beeping]
It doesn't have any problem. They do have to be 1D
barcodes though, so it will not read QR codes. It'll read all standard barcodes printed out.
Really quickly we'll just put it through a scratch
test to see how aggressive. So I'm just gonna draw
two lines through that barcode. [beep] And it still scans. Couple more lines. [beep]
You can see the red indicator of where you're scanning,
and then the green light when you get a positive read.
And then I'm just gonna just try and destroy this barcode. [beep]
And it's still scanning just fine , so it's a nice aggressive scanner.
The specs say it can scan a standard barcode from 1 to 31 inches,
so if you're starting at about 1 inches there. This might be a little bit smaller than a
standard barcode that I'm using right now.
We're having some difficulty at about 31 inches is my guess.
[cracking] [crunching] >>Voices: Oh! Oooh!
[Splashing water]
[Echoing cracks]
>>Voices: Aw! [mumbling]
>>Camille: So this is the final product after our durability testing.
You can see that the lens is undamaged as it was
recessed into the scanner and it never actually took
any impacts directly to the lens. You have your
superficial damage on the housing. You have your charging
contact points which are undamaged because they're
also recessed back into the scanner to avoid any impacts
that might damage them and prevent your scanner from
being able to charge. Some of the more serious damage, caused by
the SUV, for example, is this crack that runs through the housing. There's that crack.
But as you can see the scanner, the indicator beam is still functioning.
The speakers, they went quiet for a while, are now back at full strength,
which you'll hear in just a second. And though this is not paired,
I can still scan. [beeping]
Just a quick look at the base for the LI4278. You can charge it in
a landscape orientation like that. Just standard, no mounting,
really easy. Or, alternatively, you can mount it on the wall by
putting that piece in there to hold it in place, and then
if you look at this little diagram back here, you just need to use
a phillips-head screwdriver and turn this to the wall-mounted direction,
and then it will hold it in place when you put it on the wall. I think.
The LI4278 is great for retail. It has the wireless functionality so its
easy to scan. It is also great for if the employee happens to drop it, it's
gonna probably be just fine. We also suggest it for light-industrial
use because it has an IP54 seal to protect against dust and moisture.
Um, it's available with USB, RS-232 serial, or PS/2 keyboard wedge interfaces,
has a 3-year manufacturers warranty, and is available in black or white.
