CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This document provides instruction, mechanical details, and design considerations to
integrate the Magellan 3410VSi OEM scanner into equipment-integrated scanning appli-
cations.

OVERVIEW

The Magellan™ 3410VSi OEM is designed for retail checkout environments where there
is a relatively high number of transactions with a fairly small number of items per trans-
action. The proprietary imaging technology excels at capturing 1D and 2D bar codes in
omni-direction orientation.
A typical system using the scanner consists of a host system such as a price verifier, self
checkout, or kiosk. The host system interfaces with the scanner and receives decoded
bar code data produced by the scanner. The illumination LEDs in the scanner emit visi-
ble light as well as invisible infrared light. When a bar code passes through the scan vol-
ume 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.

REFERENCE DOCUMENTS

The OEM scanner contains versions of the scan engine, electrical components, soft-
ware, and configuration programming options as those available on standard Magellan
3410VSi scanner models. This document is meant to give instructions, mechanical
details, and design considerations to integrate the OEM scanner model. For information
on the Magellan 3410VSi, please refer to the Magellan 3410VSi Product Reference
Guide.
Details about configuration settings and programming can be found in the Magellan
3410VSi Product Reference Guide.
