MS-3 Laser Scanner User’s Manual ix
About the MS-3 Laser Scanner
The MS-3 Laser is a ultra-compact scanner that can decode high density symbols from
2 to 10 inches at a 70 degrees scan angle with scan rates of 300 to 1000 decodes per
second with a low power draw of 300mA at 5V. A multi-function TEST button, which
“out of the box” can do read rate, automatic calibration, and saves, can also be pro-
grammed to perform a variety of functions.
Programmable firmware also allows considerable control of multiple features, including
3 programmable relay outputs and new master and trigger inputs.
About This Manual
This manual provides complete information on setting up, installing, and configuring
the reader. The chapters are presented in the order in which a reader might be setup
and made ready for industrial operation.
Chapter 1, “Quick Start” provides overall step-by-step instructions for getting your
reader operational with specific “go to” references to other chapters and appendices.
Host Communications
There are four ways the scanner can be programmed:
1. Microscan’s Windows™ based ESP™ (Easy Setup Program), the preferred method
which offers point-and-click ease of use and visual responses to user adjustments.
(NOT available at this time.)
2. Serial commands such as <K100,1> can be sent from a terminal program.
Note: You can learn the current setting of any parameter by inserting a question
mark after the number, as in <K100?> To see all “K” commands, send <K?>.
3. Embedded firmware (onboard menus).
4. Bar code symbol configuration.
Highlighting
Serial commands, selections inside instructions, and menu defaults are highlighted in
red bold.
Cross-references are highlighted in blue. Web links and outside references are high-
lighted in blue bold italics.
References to menu topics are highlighted in Bold Initial Caps. References to topic
headings within this manual or other documents are enclosed in quotation marks.
