The MS-860 makes reading bar codes and stacked 2D codes easy. Push-button calibration and a fully programmable feature set enable you to quickly and easily configure the scanner to meet your needs. Raster settings are programmable to read multiple symbols at different locations or at varying distances.

Easy to setup, the MS-860's push-button setup will save installers of all skill levels valuable time. Pressing the EZ button initiates the calibration process to optimize the MS-860's settings for each bar code type and setup. This maximizes performance and can be done onsite.

By combining flexible features with ease of use, the MS-860 is adaptable to a wide variety of bar code applications across multiple industries with operators of varying experience levels.

Features:

• Scans/second: 300-1200
• Read range: 1 to 42" (25 to 1067 mm)
• Laser/Raster Framing
• Real-Time Feedback

Calibration
Out of the box setup is simplified with the 860's unique calibration feature. Simply place your bar code in front of the scanner and push the EZ button to initiate calibration. Motor speed, gain, tracking, and laser power are all self-calibrated in the MS-860 to optimize settings specifically to your bar code.

Push-Button Setup
The EZ button puts power at your fingertips. Three programmable positions can be used to quickly perform complex tasks. EZ button user-selectable functions include:

• Read Rate
• Calibration
• Auto Framing
• Save for Power-on
• Sleep Mode
• Load New Master

Intelligent Raster
In addition to sweep angle and speed controls, the MS-860's programmable raster features intelligent auto framing technology. Advanced software will automatically frame the raster height and width of the laser to match the bar code symbol. This allows the scanner to selectively target specific bar codes in a single read cycle.

High Scan Speed and Long Read Range
The MS-860's high scan speed coupled with long read range and wide sweep angle provide maximum flexibility for addressing applications with multiple symbols, different locations, or a wide range of distances.

Real-Time Feedback
Illuminated LEDs on the side of the scanner and a green flash LED projecting from the front window provide visual confirmation of the scanner's performance. The green flash LED is visible within a complete 360 degree radius from the scanner.

At 1,000 decodes per second, the MS-3 Laser offers the faastest read performance in the class of embedded bar code scanners. Microscan's robust decode algorithms ensure accurate reading every time. The wide scan angle of 70 degrees coupled with ultra-compact size and flexible mounting make the MS-3 Laser the optimal choice for high-speed reading in OEM instruments. A factory customizable focal point add up to space savings within your system, allowing greater flexibility with positioning. High performance and flexibility are designed into virtually every aspect of the MS-3 Laser. Optics are factory-adjustable and our feature-rich firmware can be customized to satisfy almost any application. You are able to instantly check your read rate at the push of a button without a PC or output device. Illuminated LEDS on top of the scanner provide visual confirmation of the MS-3's performance.

The MS-3 Laser scanner is the performance leader in Microscan's MS-3 trio that includes the MS-3 CCD and the MS-3 Engine. All three are well suited for any embedded bar code application where size, performance, and budget savings are core factors.

The Quick Check® 600 Series is used for testing traditional and full ANSI/CEN/ISO parameters. These models perform quick pass/fail tests or use more powerful measuring tools for highly details analysis. Test results are provided through a 4 line by 20 character LCD, light emitting diodes, and audible tones. The unit is also RS-232 compatible and works with a Windows®-based verification software package.

The QC800 Series Bar Code Verifier offers the convenience of simple aim-and-shoot verification through the use of a QC3800V, a customized, IT3800 hand held imager. Quickly perform pass/fail testing of dimensional and format quality parameters like average bar deviation, wide-to-narrow ratios, encodation, and ANSI/CEN/ISO decodability. Also, full traditional and ANSI/CEN/ISO dimensional, reflectance, and format tests can be performed using optional mouse and pen style wands.
