Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
TM
The EM1395 embedded 1D barcode scan engine, armed with linear imager and Newland patented
image recognition system, can read barcodes on a variety of mediums like paper and magnetic cards and
is suitable to be integrated into various OEM devices including handheld barcode scanners, PDAs and
kiosks.
Small compact scan engine that is optimized for quick and easy integration.
Supports all mainstream 1D barcodes.
Delivers fast and accurate scanning performance.
Simple parameter configuration and firmware update.
Illumination
The EM1395 has a red LED (wavelength: 612 nm ~ 624 nm) for supplementary lighting, making it possible
to scan barcodes even in complete darkness.
Red light is used as illumination, so the engine shows better reading performance on barcodes printed in
non-red colors. For applications involving red barcodes, it is advisable to use non-red supplementary
lighting. The user can conduct some tests to determine the proper wavelengths to be used.
