Install and program the scanner (see Setting Up the Scanner on page 1-3). For assistance, contact the local supplier or Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. Ensure the scanner is properly connected to the host (see the appropriate host chapter). Aim the scanner at the bar code.
Page 28: Aiming
2 - 4 Symbol LS3408 Product Reference Guide Aiming Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult.
Page 29: Scanning In Hands-Free Mode
Scanning 2 - 5 Scanning in Hands-Free Mode The optional IntelliStand adds greater flexibility to the scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup,” the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free mode. When the scanner is removed from the stand it operates in its normal hand-held mode.

Page 80: Stop Bit Select
6 - 10 Symbol LS3408 Product Reference Guide Stop Bit Select The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate.
Page 81: Hardware Handshaking
RS-232 Interface 6 - 11 Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence: •...
Page 82 6 - 12 Symbol LS3408 Product Reference Guide Hardware Handshaking (continued) RTS/CTS Option 1 When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete.
Page 83: Software Handshaking
RS-232 Interface 6 - 13 Software Handshaking This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options. If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.
Page 84 6 - 14 Symbol LS3408 Product Reference Guide Software Handshaking (continued) ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK from the host, an additional ENQ is not required. ACK/NAK with ENQ XON/XOFF An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character.
Page 85: Host Serial Response Time-Out
RS-232 Interface 6 - 15 Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option.

12 - 48 Symbol LS3408 Product Reference Guide Security Level The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner decode speed, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.
Page 193: Security Level 2
Symbologies 12 - 49 Security Level 2 If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are not limited to characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level. Security Level 2 Security Level 3 If Security Level 2 has been tried, and the scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec bar codes.
