Introduction
Product Overview
The IS4910 series of non-decode miniature area imaging engines is designed for integration into customer
OEM devices. When integrated with a host processor and decoding software from Omniplanar
®
, the engine
can be used to capture images for decoding 1D and 2D bar codes in addition to OCR fonts.
The compact engine has several models available to accommodate all types of mounting requirements. All
model types provide two blind holes for self-tapping screws along with a keying location point. The IS4910-01
model provides two additional through holes located on tabs extended from the sides of the engine's chassis
and the IS4910-02 provides threaded inserts instead of through holes on the extended tabs.
The engine's physical design and low power requirements support integration into portable data terminals,
hand-held bar code scanners, ID verification devices, kiosks, portable-shopping systems, mass-storage
devices, lottery terminals, and medical/diagnostic devices.
A high-density version, IS4911 is also available.
Additional key features include:
• Designed to scan 1D bar codes as dense as 4 mil (0.102 mm) and 2D bar codes as dense as 10 mil
(0.254 mm; Matrix codes)
• High resolution (1280 × 960 pixels)
• The ability to switch between Snapshot and Video modes for different applications
• Capture and transmit high-quality black and white images
®
• FirstFlash
circuitry which automatically adjusts to environmental illumination for excellent light immunity
• Built-in aiming for easy scanning
• Standby mode for power conservation
• Low mass (< 6 g)
• Industrial standard output for seamless integration, Molex

Enclosure Specifications
The imaging engine was specifically designed for integration into custom housings for OEM applications. The
imaging engine’s performance will be adversely affected or permanently damaged when mounted in an
unsuitable enclosure.
Warning: The limited warranty (on page 31) is void if the following considerations are not adhered to when
integrating the engine into a system.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Cautions
All imaging engines are shipped in ESD protective packaging due to the sensitive nature of the
engine's exposed electrical components.
• ALWAYS use grounding wrist straps and a grounded work area when unpacking
and handling the engine.
• Mount the engine in a housing that is designed for ESD protection and stray electric fields.
ESD has the ability to modify the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device, possibly
degrading or even destroying the device. ESD also has the potential to upset the normal operation
of an electronic system, causing equipment malfunction or failure.
Airborne Contaminants and Foreign Materials
The imaging engine has very sensitive miniature electrical and optical components that must be protected from
airborne contaminants and foreign materials. In order to prevent permanently damaging the imaging engine
and voiding the limited warranty (on page 31), the imaging engine enclosure must be:
• Sealed to prevent infiltration by airborne contaminants and foreign materials such as,
dust, dirt, smoke, and smog.
• Sealed to protect against water, humidity and be non-condensing.
Refer to page 11 for information on power and thermal considerations.

Output Window Properties
An improperly placed window has the serious potential to reduce the imaging engine’s performance.
Careful consideration must be made when designing the output window’s distance and angle relative
to the imaging engine’s camera aperture.
Follow these guidelines when designing the output window.
• The output window material should have a spectral transmission of at least 85% from 580 nm to
680 nm and should block shorter wavelengths.
• It should have a 60-40 surface quality, be optically flat, clear, and free of scratches, pits, or seeds.
If possible, recess the window into the housing for protection or apply a scratch resistance coating
(see Output Window Coatings below).
• Apply an anti-reflective coating to the window surfaces to reduce the possibility of reflective light
interfering with the engine’s performance.
• The clear aperture of the output window should extend beyond the Field of View. Refer to page 10
and pages 20 - 21 for Field of View specifications.
• The window size must accommodate the illumination and targeting areas shown on page 10.
• The window must be parallel to the engine face.
• The distance from the engine face to the inside surface of the window of the enclosure should be
minimized and should not exceed 0.5 mm (0.02") due to possible specular reflections from internal
area illumination.
Output Window Coatings
• Anti-Reflection
An anti-reflective coating can be applied to the inside and/or outside of the window to reduce the
possibility of internal beam reflections interfering with the performance of the engine. If an antireflective coating is applied, it is recommended that it be on both sides of the window providing a
0.5% maximum reflectivity on each side from 600 - 700 namometers at the nominal window tilt angle.
The coating must also meet the hardness adherence requirements of MIL-M-13508.
• Polysiloxane Coating
Applying a polysiloxane coating to the window surface can help protect the window from surface
scratches and abrasions that may interfere with the performance of the engine. Recessing the window
into the housing can also provide added protection against surface damage such as scratches and
chips. If an anti-reflective coating is used, there is no need to apply a polysiloxane coating.
