N3680 Decoded Engine User Guide 1
GET STARTED
Introduction
The N3680 scan engine is designed for integration into a wide range of OEM 
devices. The scan engine’s compact mechanical design can drop into many exist-
ing applications, allowing OEMs and third-party manufacturers to integrate the 
benefits of image-based scanning into a variety of devices, including hand held 
computers, PDTs, medical instrumentation, kiosks, diagnostic equipment, and 
robotics. The N3680 unit decodes linear, 2D, and postal codes. 
The CF3680 is a 2D imager module designed to be integrated into fixed mount 
enclosures, such as a self-service kiosk. It is optimized to read 1D and 2D bar 
codes on mobile phone screens, coupons, loyalty cards or tickets at close reading 
distances.
