Review: perfect replacement - Scanner is plug ans play, works as expected Review: good scanner for the money. - Quick easy setup. just plug into your computer and you are ready to scan. you can also DL the 123Scan software to customize the scans and add prefix or suffix information to the scans. you can even add tab or enter keys as well. The unit has very good range. The only downside to this is that it does not use the sharp laser that the old LS version did. this will sometimes lead to it wanting certain angles to scan. 95% of the time it just works fine. ## Features - LI4278 Wireless 1D Barcode Scanner with Cradle - USB Cable Included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01A4XG9LG | | Batteries | 3 Lithium Polymer batteries required.

Double check with Zebra. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfect replacement *by F***D on May 15, 2024* Scanner is plug ans play, works as expected ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good scanner for the money. *by J***D on May 6, 2016* Quick easy setup. just plug into your computer and you are ready to scan. you can also DL the 123Scan software to customize the scans and add prefix or suffix information to the scans. you can even add tab or enter keys as well.
