Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
TM
NLS-EM3095 embedded 2D barcode scan engines, armed with the Newland patented , a
computerized image recognition system, bring about a new era of 2D barcode scan engines.
The EM3095’s 2D barcode decoder chip ingeniously blends technology and advanced chip design
& manufacturing, which significantly simplifies application design and delivers superior performance and
solid reliability with low power consumption.
The EM3095 supports the following barcode symbologies:
1D: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ISSN, ISBN, Codabar, Code 128 (including FNC1, FNC2 and
FNC3), Code 93, ITF-6, ITF-14, Interleaved 2 of 5, Industrial 2 of 5, Standard 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5,
GS1 Databar (RSS-Expand, RSS-Limited, RSS-14), Code 39, Code 11, MSI-Plessey, Plessey.
2D: PDF417, QR Code (QR1、QR2、Micro QR), Data Matrix.
Illumination
The EM3095 has two red LEDs for supplementary lighting, making it possible to scan barcodes even in
complete darkness. The illumination can be programmed On or Off.
The EM3095 uses red LEDs for illumination, so the engine shows better reading performance on
barcodes printed in non-red colors. For applications involving red barcodes, it is advised to turn off the
engine’s illumination and use non-red supplementary lighting instead. The user can conduct some tests to
determine the proper wavelengths to be used.
Aimer
The EM3095 has a view finder that produces a solid circle-shaped aiming pattern to help the user to easily
position the target barcode within the engine’s field of view to increase scan efficiency. The aiming pattern
can be turned On or Off. It is advisable to turn it on when scanning barcodes.

Chapter 2 Installation
General Requirements
ESD
ESD protection has been taken into account when designing the EM3095 and the engine is shipped in
ESD safe packaging. Always exercise care when handling the engine outside its package. Be sure
grounding wrist straps and properly grounded work areas are used.
Dust and Dirt
The EM3095 must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the imager, lens
and circuit board. Dust and other external contaminants will eventually degrade the engine’s performance.
Ambient Environment
The following environmental requirements should be met to ensure good performance of the EM3095:
Working Temperature -20℃ ~ 60℃
Storage Temperature -40℃ ~ 80℃
Humidity 5% ~ 95% (non-condensing)
Thermal Considerations
Electronic components in the EM3095 will generate heat during the course of their operation. Operating
the EM3095 in continuous mode for an extended period may cause temperatures to rise on CIS and
decoder chip. Overheating can degrade image quality and affect scanning performance. Given that, the
following precautions should be taken into consideration when integrating the EM3095.
 Reserve sufficient space for good air circulation in the design.
 Avoid wrapping the EM3095 with thermal insulation materials such as rubber.

Optics
Window Placement
The window should be positioned properly to let the illumination and aiming beams pass through as much
as possible and no reflections back into the engine (reflections can degrade the reading performance).
The window should be mounted close to the front of the engine (parallel). The maximum distance is
measured from the front of the engine housing to the farthest surface of the window. In order to reach
better reading performance, the distance from the front of the engine housing to the furthest surface of the
window should not exceed 3mm and the distance from the front of the engine housing to the nearest
surface of the window should not exceed 2mm.
If the window is required to be in a tilted position, the above distance requirements should be met and tilt
angle should ensure no reflections back into the lens.
Window Material and Color
CIS’s responsiveness (mainly to wavelengths of red light）should be taken into consideration when
choosing window material and color, in order to achieve the possible highest spectral transmission, lowest
haze level and homogeneous refractive index. It is suggested to use PMMA or optical glass with spectral
transmittance over 90% and haze less than 1%. Whether to use an anti-reflection coating or not depends
on the material and application needs.
