Introduction  
Product Overview 
The MS7580 Genesis™ is a high performance presentation area-imaging bar 
code imager that utilizes CMOS imaging sensors for superior image quality. 
Genesis utilizes custom decoder software, for reliable decoding of both 1D and 
2D bar code symbologies. Sharp images can be captured and transmitted in a 
variety of outputs including: .jpg, .bmp, and .tiff. 
Omnidirectional scanning capabilities and an excellent motion tolerance provides 
aggressive scanning of all standard 1D, GS1 DataBar™ (RSS), PDF417, 
microPDF, Composite, Matrix, and Postal Codes symbology types. Firmware 
updates are easily loaded into Flash memory. 
The MS7580 provides an extended scan volume and a built in object detection 
sensor (IR) that instantly turns on the imager when an object is presented within 
the imager’s field of view.
