Megapixel Global Shutter ICAO9303 OCR MRZ Barcode Scanner Engine with Ultra-wide 102°/74° FOV for Passport Short Distance Decoding

OEM Scan Engine for Passport, ID Card, and 2D Barcode Capture

When an application needs reliable near-field reading of travel documents, ID cards, and everyday barcodes, the HW-1280M-W is a compact OEM scan engine to consider. It uses a 1280 by 800 pixel global-shutter CMOS sensor with 1 MP resolution and 120 frames per second, paired with a 1.2 GHz Ingenic processor. The result is crisp image capture and responsive decoding, backed by a mature software algorithm developed through more than a decade of deployment experience. For device makers seeking a capable alternative to established high-end models like the EM3088-W, this module offers a strong price-performance option.

• Ultra-wide 102° H / 74° V optics: The wide field of view gives the engine outstanding near-field performance. Long barcodes and MRZ data can be captured comfortably at close distances.
• ICAO 9303 and OCR-A/B support: The module reads TD1, TD2, and TD3 documents that follow OCR-A/OCR-B standards. It also handles standard 1D and 2D barcodes, whether printed or displayed on a screen.
• 1 MP imaging and robust decoding: The 1280×800 sensor captures larger, clearer frames. It can decode damaged symbols, extended-length high-density codes, and reflective barcodes that are difficult for lesser engines.
• Uniform warm-light illumination: There is no aimer. Two warm-yellow LEDs create smooth, even lighting and minimize bright spots. A grille-style housing blocks direct light and masks the LED's intense center, producing more consistent illumination at short range.
• High-speed motion tolerance: Thanks to 120 fps, the engine can be configured for up to 2 m/s motion tolerance, making it possible to read barcodes while they are moving at 2 meters per second.
• MRZ reading distances: For TD1 cards such as ID cards, the minimum MRZ reading distance can reach 40 mm. For TD3 passports, the minimum distance can reach 70 mm. These close-range capabilities are tailored for applications where the document must be placed near the scanner.
