The HHP IMAGETEAMTM (IT) 4250 Image Engine is designed for integration into hand eld portable data terminals, along with other OEM devices, as an input device for reading and decoding linear, stacked linear (PDF417), and 2D matrix bar code symbologies.
The IT4250 incorporates the latest CMOS-based area array sensor. This technology is being adopted in other markets and products, (e.g., digital cameras, PC-based video conferencing, video surveillance, automobiles, and toys). The IT4250 2D Image Engine functions like a digital camera. The engine adds 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 IT4250 Image Engine is specifically designed to drop into most existing portable data terminals. The size and current draw of the device allow the engine to drop in with no mechanical modifications. The decoder module supports a pseudo-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 (API¡¦s). The IT4250 Image Engine features integrated processing that supports all of today¡¦s auto-ID data capture needs in a single device.
The engine provides omni-directional and auto-discrimination decoding for symbologies such as MaxiCode, PDF417, MicroPDF417, Data Matrix, QR Code, Aztec code, RSS code, composite codes, postal codes, Code 39, Code 93, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, Code 128, UPC, and EAN. It also provides full support for additional auto-ID needs such as OCR A and B, digital signature capture, document lift, and full image capture.
