Symbol VS4004 Scanner

Image Scanning with Best-in-Class Performance

Symbol combines integrated image capture with handheld scanning of all major bar code symbologies in the Vision System (VS) 4000 Series. Based on the ergonomic design of the VS4004 of handheld scanners, the VS4004 combines best-in-class performance with award-winning ergonomics.

For existing 1-D applications, the VS4004 provides robust working range on 1-D codes, such as 13 in./33 cm on 100% UPC, with the added benefit of omni-directional scanning. More importantly, the VS4004 delivers functionality to support the growing number of 2-D applications.

PDF417, DataMatrix, MaxiCode and Postal Code

Whether your requirements are to read DataMatrix for small item identification, MaxiCode for parcel sortation, postal codes for mail-handling applications, or PDF417 across a variety of applications, the VS4004 provides the aggressive performance you need.

The VS4004 High Density version was designed to read DataMatrix codes as small as 0.005 in. (5 mil), while providing a user-friendly working range on all other symbologies.

Image Capture

For image capture applications, the VS4004 delivers clear Video Graphics Array (VGA) resolution images while providing the user total control over image attributes such as compression quality, transfer time, and file size. User-selectable imaging options also allow the choice of a variety of industry-standard image file types.

Comfortable and Intuitive to Use

The VS4004 is ergonomically contoured, light and easy to use–just what you have come to expect from Symbol! A bright laser generated pattern defines the imager's field of view, enabling point-and-shoot operation for bar code applications and intuitive aiming for image capture applications.

Easy to Program

With an eye to the future, the VS4004 is as easy to program as it is to use. With flash programming capability, Symbol made it a snap to update and reconfigure the imager, even in the field. This protects your technology investment and provides an easy upgrade path for new codes and features. The VS4004 Handheld Imager from Symbol Technologies– the right solution for all your handheld image capture needs.
