Handheld barcode reader Zebra LI3678-ER — 1D scanner, wired & wireless, IP67, 3100 mAh battery, 424 g

Zebra LI3678-ER is a rugged handheld 1D barcode reader designed for extended-range scanning in demanding environments. The scanner captures linear barcodes from near range (from about 2 in./5.1 cm) to long distances (up to 56 ft./17.1 m). It is available in both wired and cordless configurations and is built to withstand harsh warehouse, logistics and industrial conditions with an IP67 rating and a robust industrial design.

Advantages

The LI3678-ER delivers long-range 1D barcode capture, broad connectivity (wired and wireless) and a large 3100 mAh Li‑Ion battery for extended operation. Its ultra-rugged housing and IP67 dust/water protection reduce downtime in challenging environments. The scanner offers a clear aiming pattern and configurable feedback modes (visual, audible and haptic) to improve first-time capture rates and operator efficiency. Standard support for common linear symbologies ensures compatibility with typical barcodes used in warehousing and logistics.

How to use

Power the scanner and, if using the cordless model, ensure the battery is charged. Connect to your host system via the chosen interface (USB, RS-232 or keyboard wedge) or pair the cordless scanner with its base station according to the quick start instructions. Aim the scanner at the 1D barcode using the aiming pattern; press the trigger to scan. Adjust distance according to barcode size and location—the LI3678-ER reads from close range up to long distances. Use configured feedback (LED, beeper, vibration) to confirm successful scans.

Recommendations

For reliable long-range performance, keep the scanner lens clean and position operators so the aiming pattern is aligned with the barcode. Choose wired connectivity for continuous power in fixed workstations and cordless operation for mobile tasks. Use supported linear symbologies and verify settings in the Zebra configuration utility for optimal results.
