Introduction
Product Overview
The IS4920 is a miniature area-imaging engine and decode board with image capturing and bar code decoding
capabilities. The engine module consists of a non-decode imaging engine (IS4910), a decode board and two
flex cables. The IS4920 features a mega-pixel CMOS sensor, integrated illumination, and patented
FirstFlash® technology; together they ensure capturing a high-resolution image with optimal brightness each
time. IS4920 also has a wide-angle lens design, which covers a large scan area and delivers a true omni-
directional scanning performance. The high-quality images produced by the imaging engine can be used for
decoding bar codes, image upload, signature capture, document lifting and reading OCR fonts.
The decode board is powered by a fast processor and SwiftDecoder™ software to decode a wide array of 1D
and 2D bar codes plus OCR fonts. The decode board supports TTL level RS232 or USB 1.1 communication.
The decode board is compatible with MetroSet2, a PC-based software for easy configuration.
IS4920 is designed with the industrial standard size, mounting options and output to facilitate integration into
existing applications. The imaging engine’s miniature size makes IS4920 ideal for integration into data
terminals and other small devices. IS4920 is supplied as an assembled module with a mounting bracket or as
separate components for custom mounting. The imaging engine’s unique open system architecture allows
IS4920 to accept third party and custom plug-ins, giving the IS4920 virtually unlimited application flexibility.
The small yet powerful engine delivers a scanning performance that rivals a full-fledged handheld scanner.
A high-density version, IS4921, is also available.
