About EM2037
TM
EM2037 is an embedded 2D Barcode Scan Engine with CMOS technology and Newland`s
. It can
read barcodes on various carriers like paper and magnetic cards and is suitable to be integrated into
various OEM devices including handheld scanners, PDA, kiosks, etc.
The image acquisition interface, initial data interface as well as I/O interface are available for users,
which enables users to easily realize second development via Newland`s SDK.

Aimer
EM2037 provides a view finder that projects an aiming beam to help the user center the target barcode
and improve efficiency. The aimer can be programmed on and off, but it is suggested to be turned on
during scanning.
Illumination
EM2037 has two red LEDs for supplementary illumination so as to enable the engine to scan barcodes
even in complete darkness. The illumination can be programmed on and off.
Since the illumination is red light and the lens imaging system is coated by AR film which has obvious
anti-reflection effect against red light, the engine shows better reading performance on non-red barcdes.
For applications with red barcodes, it is suggested to adopt supplementary illumination lights of other
colors.
