Introduction

This document gives instruction, mechanical details, and design considerations to inte­ grate the Magellan 1100i OEM model (designated as “scanner” or “OEM scanner” in this manual) specifically into equipment-integrated scanning applications.

Overview

The OEM scanner is a compact, decoded, omni-directional imaging scanner for fixed position OEM integration, such as price verifiers, kiosks, vending machines, point-of­ sale (POS) terminals, and other equipment-integrated scanning applications. The new proprietary imaging technology excels at capturing hard-to-read bar codes in omni­ direction orientation.

A typical system using the scanner consists of a host system such as a price verifier or kiosk. The host system interfaces with the scanner and receives decoded bar code data produced by the scanner. The illumination LED's in the scanner emit visible light as well as invisible infrared light. When a bar code passes through the scan volume area, light is reflected off the bar code. The scanner collects this reflected light, processes it into a digital signal and decodes it into data that can be used by the host system. The scanner has different operational modes which can be selected via special programming bar codes.

The OEM scanner contains versions of the scan engine, electrical components, soft­ ware, and configuration programming options as those available on standard Magellan 1100i scanner models. This document is meant to give instruction, mechanical details, and design considerations to integrate the OEM scanner model only.

Details on the Electrical Interface, Configuration Settings, and Programming are found in the Magellan 1100i Product Reference Guide.
