Zebra LI3678 Handheld bar code reader 1D Green

The Zebra LI3678 is a wireless handheld barcode reader from Zebra's 3600 Ultra‑Rugged Series built for 1D linear barcode capture in demanding warehouse and manufacturing environments. Designed to withstand harsh conditions, the LI3678 offers extended read range, fast trigger response and reliable decoding of damaged, dirty or poorly printed 1D barcodes. The model supports common linear symbologies such as Code 128, Code 39, GS1‑128, Codabar and more, and pairs via Bluetooth for cordless operation.

Advantages

The LI3678 delivers superior 1D scanning performance with up to 30% more working range compared with prior models, enabling quick capture of barcodes at greater distances. Its ultra‑rugged design provides high drop and tumble resistance plus dust and water protection (IP65/IP67), reducing downtime in industrial settings. Manageability features include remote configuration and firmware updates, data formatting for direct application integration and battery monitoring for cordless units. The scanner also offers clear aiming, configurable feedback modes (visual, audible, haptic) and an extended temperature rating suitable for freezer use.

How to use

Charge the cordless LI3678 battery before first use and pair the scanner to a host device via Bluetooth following the included pairing procedure. Aim the scanner at the 1D barcode, pull the trigger and hold the device steady until feedback confirms a successful read. Use the scanner configuration tools to format scanned data for direct input into your business applications and to set preferred feedback modes (visual, audible, haptic). For wired operation, connect the appropriate cable and follow standard host setup steps.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in industrial environments, maintain the scanner lens free of heavy residue and perform periodic firmware updates via the Zebra management tools. Use the cordless model's battery-monitoring features to schedule charges and replacements before capacity declines affect throughput.
