Zebra Cordless 1D Barcode Scanner

Zebra LI4278 for Cordless 1D Scanning at Counters and Workstations

Product Overview

Cordless 1D scanning where cradle, range, battery and host setup matter

Zebra LI4278 is best considered when the workflow is mainly 1D barcode scanning, but staff need cordless movement around a POS counter, receiving desk or workstation. It uses Bluetooth v2.1 Class 2 radio and pairs with CR0078-S Standard or CR0078-P Presentation cradles for communication and charging. Zebra specifications list up to 330 ft. / 100 m line-of-sight radio range, up to 57,000 scans per charge and 72 hours of operation per full charge. For Hong Kong B2B users, the buying decision should cover 1D versus 2D needs, cradle type, USB / RS232 / RS485 / Keyboard Wedge host connection, power, counter placement, Windows keyboard language and scan-output formatting.

Quick Fit

Where LI4278 Fits Best

Best fit

Retail POS, receiving desks, warehouse workstations, event registration and short-range cordless 1D scanning.

Check first

Whether the workflow is 1D-only; QR Code, Data Matrix or PDF417 needs should be matched to a Zebra 2D scanner.

May not fit

High-rack long-range warehouses, harsh outdoor use, heavy drop risk or high-volume 2D mobile-code capture may need another scanner class.

Choose LI4278 When

Your workflow mainly scans UPC / EAN, Code 128, Code 39, GS1 DataBar and other 1D barcodes.
Staff need movement away from the fixed cable while retaining cradle-based charging and communication.
The host system requires USB, RS232, RS485 (IBM) or Keyboard Wedge connectivity.

Confirm Before Enquiry

Whether CR0078-S Standard or CR0078-P Presentation cradle best fits the counter and power setup.
Windows or POS keyboard language, Enter / Tab, prefix / suffix and data-formatting rules.
Current sellable PN, regional power and service options need quotation-stage confirmation.

Key Features

Scanning, Mobility and Deployment Points

1D linear imager

Built for common 1D symbologies including UPC / EAN, Code 128, Code 39 and GS1 DataBar.

Bluetooth v2.1

Class 2 radio with listed line-of-sight radio range up to 330 ft. / 100 m.

CR0078 cradle

Standard or Presentation cradle options should be matched to communication, charging, counter placement and power.

547 scans/sec

Specifications list 547 scans per second for high-frequency 1D counter workflows.

Up to 57,000 scans

Up to 57,000 scans per charge and 72 hours per full charge; actual results depend on use pattern.

IP53 / drop tested

Zebra specifications list IP53, over 100 drops at 5 ft. and survival of 6 ft. drops to concrete.

Host interfaces

Cradle interfaces include RS232, RS485 (IBM), USB and Keyboard Wedge.

123Scan / SDK

Works with 123Scan, Remote Scanner Management, Scanner Management Services and Zebra Scanner SDK.

Applications

Common Hong Kong B2B Applications

Retail POS

Product 1D barcodes, loyalty cards, coupons and counter scanning.

Receiving and Dispatch

Inbound, outbound, parcel verification, simple stock checks and document barcodes.

Warehouse Workstations

Short movement around a workstation, cradle return and fixed work-cell scanning.

Registration and Service Desks

Event, hotel, service, member or internal-form 1D barcode verification.

Accessories and Software

Plan Scanner, Cradle, Battery, Cable and Settings Together

LI4278 procurement should not stop at the scanner body. Before quotation, confirm cradle, battery, USB or serial cable, power, counter placement, host interface, 123Scan setup, keyboard country code, Enter / Tab suffix and Zebra OneCare service direction.

Confirm Standard cradle or Presentation cradle.
Check power and regional cord requirements before deployment.
Define scan-output formatting early to reduce POS or WMS rework.

Selection Guide

Four Decisions to Prepare Before Enquiry

Barcode mix

Confirm whether the workflow is 1D-only; if QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 or phone-screen codes are in scope, compare a 2D scanner first.

Cradle and charging

Standard cradle fits general charging and communication; choose Presentation cradle only after checking counter space, hands-free scanning and power arrangement.

Host interface

POS, Windows PC, industrial PC or older systems may need different cables, host mode, keyboard country code and Enter / Tab output settings.

Supply and service

Several LI4278 PNs show Pending End of Sale or End of Sale; confirm active scanner, cradle, power and Zebra OneCare options before quotation.

Comparison

LI4278, LI2208 and 2D Scanner Class

Option	Positioning	Buying note
Zebra LI4278	Cordless 1D linear imager with cradle-based charging and communication.	Best for short-range movement around mainly 1D workstations.
Zebra LI2208	Corded 1D linear imager.	If the scanner stays fixed at a counter or receiving desk, LI2208 may be simpler.
Zebra 2D scanner class	For QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and mobile-screen 2D codes.	Do not stay with a 1D model if the real workflow requires 2D capture.

Buying Pitfalls

Common LI4278 Ordering Mistakes

Treating 1D as 2D

LI4278 is a 1D scanner; QR Code or Data Matrix needs should move the review to 2D models.

Forgetting cradle and power

Standard / Presentation cradle, power supply, line cord and counter space affect deployment.

Skipping PN lifecycle checks

LI4278 scanner PNs include Pending End of Sale / End of Sale statuses, so active configurations must be checked.

No output-setting plan

Keyboard country code, Enter / Tab, prefix / suffix and formatting should be defined before POS / WMS testing.

Why Buy from Easy Scan

Check Model, Cradle, Interface and Setup in One Flow

As a Zebra Premier Solution Partner, Easy Scan can help Hong Kong businesses review LI4278 model direction, cradle, battery, cables, host interface, Part Number, documents and setup flow against the real scanning scenario, reducing the risk of ordering the wrong 1D / 2D class, missing accessories or discovering output-format issues during deployment.

FAQ

Is LI4278 suitable for QR codes?

No. LI4278 is a 1D linear imager; compare a 2D scanner for QR Code or Data Matrix needs.

Which cradle details should be checked?

Check CR0078-S Standard or CR0078-P Presentation cradle, power, USB / serial cable and counter placement.

Are all LI4278 PNs still sellable?

Do not assume so. Some LI4278 scanner PNs show Pending End of Sale or End of Sale, so active configurations must be confirmed before quotation.

What setup details should be prepared before deployment?

Prepare host interface, keyboard country code, Enter / Tab, prefix / suffix and required data-output format.

Can LI4278 be paired with service options?

Zebra OneCare related PNs can be checked together; actual applicability, term and purchase conditions should be confirmed at quotation stage.

Should I provide daily scan volume?

Yes. Daily scan volume, working distance and charging routine affect cradle, spare-battery and service-option decisions.
