Introduction and Installation
About the 2D Image Engine
The IMAGETEAM™ (IT) 4X00 Series are small image engines designed for integration into handheld portable data terminals or
other OEM devices. The IT4X00 Series are input devices for reading and decoding linear, stacked linear (PDF417), and 2D
matrix bar code symbologies. The IT4X00 Series incorporate the latest CMOS-based area array sensors. This technology is
being adopted in other markets and products, for example, digital cameras, PC-based video conferencing, video surveillance,
automobiles, and toys. The IT4X00 Series 2D Image Engines function like digital cameras and add functionality and value to an
OEM product by adding additional capabilities such as digital image capture, document lift, signature capture, and reading OCR
A and B characters.
The IT4X00 Series Image Engines are specifically designed for easy integration into most existing portable data terminals. The
size and current draw of the devices allow the engines to drop in with few mechanical modifications. The decoder module
supports a TTL standard RS-232 interface that, in most cases, does not require any hardware modifications to existing platforms.
To ease integration efforts, a Software Developers Kit provides a simple software interface (APIs).
ESD Precautions
The IT4X00 Series engine is shipped in ESD safe packaging. Use care when handling the scan engine outside its packaging.
Be sure grounding wrist straps and properly grounded work areas are used.
Dust and Dirt
The IT4X00 Series engine must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the imager and lens. Dust
and other external contaminants will eventually degrade unit performance.
