MS-4 TINY IMAGER SCANS 2D & BAR CODES

OEM, Embedded Imager

The Microscan® MS-4 is designed specifically for embedded bar code applications. It

is the ideal imager for OEM design engineers who need to read 2D codes in tight

spaces, while still requiring 100% data integrity.

Currently the world’s smallest high resolution imager, the MS-4’s ultra-compact size

and wide angle optics provide the widest scan window available for reading any code at

close range. EZ button setup, symbol locator, and visible performance indicators

provide ease of use while omni directional reading and form factor allow for

positioning flexibility.

Compact Shape and Size

MS-4 is the world’s smallest high

performance imager, measuring 1”

(25.2 mm) height x 1.8” (45.7 mm) width

x 2.10” (53.3 mm) length and weighs less

than 2 ounces (57 g).

Omni-Directional Reading

Decodes linear bar codes or 2D codes

in any orientation. Compact shape and

omni directional reading allow for flexible

positioning, with no need to plan for laser

line alignment.

Wide Field of View

Wide scan window allows linear and 2D

codes to be read as close as 1” (25.2 mm).

Real-Time Controls

The inputs include a trigger signal, a “new

master” input, and a programmable input

for resetting counters or releasing outputs.

The outputs can be configured to activate

upon a number of conditions including

matchcode and diagnostic operations.

High Data Level Output

2D codes have a high level of data

capacity storage and the MS-4 maintains

high decode speed to output large

amounts of data in milliseconds.

Visible Performance Indicators

• Symbol Locator

• Good Read Indicator

• Read Performance

Mounting Flexibility

The MS-4’s compact size, right angle mirror

option, and design features such as the cable’s

corner positioning conserve cubic space to

create the tightest fit possible within

instrumentation and equipment.

Push-Button Setup

The EZ button is a powerful setup

feature. Three programmable

positions can be used to quickly perform

complex tasks. EZ button user-selectable

functions include:

• Read Rate • Calibration

• Save for Power-on • Load New Master

• Sleep Mode
