About This Guide 

Introduction 

T M

 

The NLS-EM20-85 

OEM scan engines (hereinafter referred to as “the EM20-85” or “the engine”) are armed with CMOS 

image  capturer  and  the  Newland  patented 

,  a  computerized  image  recognition  system-on-chip,  featuring  fast 

scanning and accurate decoding on barcodes on virtually any medium-paper. The EM20-85 can be easily integrated into 

OEM equipment or systems, such as handheld, portable, or stationary barcode scanners.

 

The EM20-85 offers fully open 

image  acquisition  interface,  raw  data  interface  and  I/O  interface,  which  enables  users  to  easily  develop  their  own 

applications with Newland

’s SDK. 

 

  Note:  This  guide  provides  general  instructions  for  the  installation  of  the  engine  into  a  customer's  device.  Fujian 

Newland Auto-ID Tech. Co., Ltd. recommends an opto-mechanical engineer should conduct an opto-mechanical analysis 

before integration.
