Zebra LI3678-ER | Ultra-Rugged Cordless 1D Linear Imager | Extended Range 17 m | Bluetooth 4.0 | USB Kit (Scanner + Cradle + Cable Incl.)
The Zebra LI3678-ER is an ultra-rugged cordless 1D linear imager engineered for extended-range scanning in demanding environments. Reading 1D barcodes from 5 cm up to 17.1 m — 26% farther than the previous generation laser model — with IP65/IP68 dual sealing and a 3 m drop rating, it delivers unmatched reach and reliability without a cable.
The ER linear imager scans 1D barcodes from as close as 5.1 cm to as far as 17.1 m (56 ft) — 26% farther than the prior generation laser model. Ideal for high-racking, conveyor lines, and yard operations where reaching every barcode without moving is critical.
Rated IP65 for dust and high-pressure water jets, and IP68 for continuous submersion — the highest sealing class in its category. Survives 3 m (10 ft) drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles. Built for the harshest industrial and outdoor environments.
Class 1 Bluetooth 4.0 with SPP and HID profiles provides a reliable wireless connection across the facility. The PowerPrecision+ battery delivers more than twice the scans per charge versus competitive models, minimising downtime during long shifts.
This kit includes the LI3678-ER scanner, STB3678 single-slot cradle, and USB communication cable. Plug in, pair, and scan — no additional accessories required for USB host environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The LI3678-ER is a 1D linear imager — it reads standard 1D barcodes (Code 39, Code 128, EAN, UPC, and others) only. For 2D barcode scanning including QR codes and DataMatrix, choose a Zebra DS3678 variant instead.
The ER model reads up to 17.1 m — 26% farther than the previous generation laser (SR). For standard warehouse shelving distances the SR is sufficient; choose the ER for high-racking, yard, or conveyor applications where extra reach is needed.
IP68 means the scanner is rated for continuous submersion in water — a step above IP67. Combined with IP65, the LI3678-ER handles dust, high-pressure jets, and full immersion, making it suitable for washdown and outdoor environments.
Yes. The USB kit (SKU LI3678-ER3U4210S1W) includes the LI3678-ER scanner, STB3678 single-slot cradle, and USB cable. No additional accessories are needed for USB deployment.
