Chapter 1 User’s GuideScanning Made Easy
The LS 3603 features Symbol Technolog ies’ patented “fuzzy logic ” technology.
This innovation provides artificial intelligence that compensates for poor
quality bar codes and gives the LS 3603 the best first-time read rate anywhere.
This scanner successfully reads most code symbologies, densities, and colors,
produced by a wide range of printing techniques. See the LS 3603 Decode Zone
on page 1-11.
With a simple cable change, the LS 3603 is compatible with:
•RS-232C asynchronous terminals.
•Wand based systems and most Batch and RF portable data collection
terminals that support a digital wand input.
•Synapse™ “Smart Cables” which allow you to connect to:
- IBM 4683/4, 4693/4 series of terminals.
- All leading OCIA terminals, including NCR, Nixdorf, and ICL.
- Terminals using an XT, AT or PS/2-style keyboard. (When used as a
keyboard wedge, all scanned data is entered into your terminal in the
form of keystrokes. No software changes to your host system are
necessary.)
- Popular OCR terminals, such as Fujitsu and ICL.
The LS 3603 scans automatically at the rate of 36 scans per second. For decode
capability, see Technical Specifications beginning on page 1-17
