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

Zebra LI3678-ER is a rugged handheld 1D barcode reader engineered for extended-range capture of linear barcodes. The scanner reads common 1D symbologies such as Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, GS1 DataBar, Codabar and others, and supports both wired and wireless connectivity via RS-232, USB and keyboard wedge interfaces with a data rate up to 3 Mbit/s. Rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, the device runs on a 3100 mAh Li‑Ion battery and weighs 424 g, making it suitable for demanding environments such as warehousing, logistics and field operations.

Advantages

The LI3678-ER offers extended-range 1D scanning capability that enables code capture from close range to long distances, improving flexibility for picking and inventory tasks. Its rugged design meets IP67 requirements, providing protection against dust and water ingress for reliable operation in harsh conditions. Dual connectivity options—wired and wireless—allow integration into diverse workflows and host systems using RS-232, USB or keyboard wedge interfaces. The scanner’s rechargeable 3100 mAh Li‑Ion battery supports prolonged mobile use while the device weight of 424 g balances durability and operator handling.

How to use

Power the scanner and connect it to your host system using the appropriate interface cable or configure wireless mode according to your deployment. Aim the scanner at the linear barcode and press the trigger to initiate a read; the scanner is designed to capture 1D barcodes across a wide working range, so adjust distance to match the barcode size and placement. Monitor scan feedback through the device’s visual, audible or haptic indicators and review captured data on the host application. Charge the Li‑Ion battery according to recommended charging procedures to maintain operational readiness.

Usage recommendations

For reliable extended-range performance, ensure the aiming pattern is centered on the barcode and maintain a clear line of sight. Use wired connections for stationary workstations and wireless mode for mobile workflows. Follow manufacturer guidance for battery charging cycles and store the scanner in a dry environment when not in use to preserve IP67 sealing and battery life.
