Zebra LI3678-ER Industrial Barcode Scanner (LI3678-ER2F003VZWW)

The Zebra LI3678 is an ultra-rugged cordless Bluetooth® 1D linear imager for warehouses, manufacturing plants, cold storage, yards and forklifts. It captures 1D barcodes as fast as workers can pull the trigger – including damaged, dirty, shrink-wrapped and poorly printed codes as well as barcodes on screens – survives multiple 3 m drops to concrete, 7,500 tumbles and full submersion in water (IP65 and IP68), and its 3,100 mAh PowerPrecision+ battery easily lasts a full shift. Class 1 Bluetooth gives you up to 100 m of freedom from the cradle, and the scanner is backed by a 3-year (36-month) Zebra warranty. Please note: the LI3678 reads 1D (linear) barcodes only – it does not read 2D codes such as QR codes, Data Matrix or PDF417. This version, LI3678-ER2F003VZWW, has the Extended Range (ER) engine (reads 1D barcodes from 5 cm up to about 17 m – from the hand to the top rack shelf) and is supplied as the scanner only (with its battery) – no cradle, cable or power supply is included.

Key Features

• Virtually indestructible – withstands multiple 3 m (10 ft) drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles from 1 m – the highest drop, tumble and sealing specifications in its class.
• IP65 and IP68 sealing – dust-tight, protected against water jets and fully submersible, so the scanner can be hosed down and used outdoors in rain and snow.
• Works from −20 °C to 50 °C – in cold stores, on outdoor docks and yards and in hot production halls.
• Extended Range (ER) engine – a 2,496-pixel sensor with a laser aimer reads 1D barcodes from 5 cm up to 17.3 m (100 mil Code 39) and up to 19.8 m on reflective labels – scan rack labels from the floor or a forklift without climbing.
• Fast, first-time 1D capture – reads damaged, dirty, poorly printed, low-contrast and shrink-wrapped 1D barcodes as fast as workers can pull the trigger – with no pause between scans.
• 1D only – please check your barcodes – the LI3678 does not read QR codes, Data Matrix, PDF417 or other 2D codes. If you need them, choose the Zebra DS3678 2D scanner – same rugged housing, same cables and accessories.
• Cordless freedom up to 100 m – Class 1 Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) with HID and SPP profiles and FIPS-compliant security; pair with the cradle by simply docking the scanner, or connect directly to Bluetooth PCs, tablets and mobile computers.
• PowerPrecision+ battery for long shifts – the 3,100 mAh Li-ion battery delivers more than 100,000 scans per full charge, reports its charge level and health, and is easy to replace for multi-shift operation.
• Smart cordless features – Virtual Tether alerts the user when the scanner is taken out of range or left out of the cradle for too long, Wi-Fi Friendly Mode prevents interference with your Wi-Fi network, and AutoConfig automatically loads the settings stored in the cradle – move a scanner from the forklift to the shipping desk without reconfiguring it.
• Charging contacts built for industry – corrosion-free Connect+ contacts are rated for 250,000 insertions, and the sealed FLB3678 forklift cradle is IP65-rated – the first in its class.
• Bright aiming and clear feedback – a sharp, bright aiming pattern makes it easy to select the right barcode on pick lists, while the Direct Decode Indicator, wrap-around LEDs, a loud beeper and vibration confirm every good read, even in noisy environments.
• Flexible host connection – the cradle connects via USB, RS232 or keyboard wedge, and through the Zebra EA3600 adapter directly to Industrial Ethernet PLCs (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, TCP/IP) – no third-party converters needed.
• Free management tools – configure with 123Scan, manage remotely with Scanner Management Service (SMS), integrate using the Zebra Scanner SDK and monitor scanning performance with ScanSpeed Analytics (Zebra DataCapture DNA).

Ideal Applications

• Warehouses and distribution centres – receiving, put-away, picking, cycle counting and shipping with 1D labels
• Long-range scanning of high-rack locations and pallets from the floor or a forklift (ER version)
• Manufacturing and automotive – work-in-process, parts tracking and quality control, including direct PLC connection via Industrial Ethernet
• Cold storage and food processing – freezer rooms, wash-down areas and loading docks
• Transport, ports and yards – outdoor scanning in rain, snow and direct sunlight
• Forklift and vehicle-mounted scanning – with the rugged holder and forklift power accessories

Technical Specifications

Not sure which version you need? First choose the engine – SR for everyday 1D scanning at close to medium distances (up to about 1 m, also from screens) or ER to scan labels from 5 cm up to about 17 m, from the hand to the top rack shelf. Then pick the package: the USB cradle kits include everything you need to start scanning – cradle, USB cable and power supply (for European sockets add an EU line cord) – while the scanner-only versions are ideal for adding scanners to an existing installation with STB3678 or FLB3678 cradles already in place. Need to read QR codes or other 2D barcodes? Choose the Zebra DS3678 instead. Compare other models in our Cordless / Wireless Barcode Scanners collection or contact our team for volume pricing.
