Quick Start Guide

MS-3 Laser Scanner

This guide is designed to get your scanner up and running

quickly. When connected to a host computer with Windows™

operating system (2000 or above), you can use

ESP

(Easy Setup

Program) to configure and control your

MS-3 Laser Scanner

. In

addition to

ESP

, you can send commands to your scanner by

serial command and by the scanners’s embedded menus.

For a full explanation of the MS-3’s commands and features,

refer to the Help section of

ESP

or contact your Microscan sales

representative for the

MS-3 Laser Scanner User’s Manual,

available in digital and print formats.

Step 1 —Check Required Hardware

Caution: If using your own power supply, be certain that it is wired

correctly and supply voltage is 10 to 28VDC. Incorrect wiring or

voltage can cause software or equipment failures.

If connecting to a host with an IB-131 Interface Box, you will need the

following:

•(1) MS-3 Laser Scanner,

FIS-0003-XXXX

•

(

)

IC-331

Interface Converter

•(4) Host Computer

•(

)

Null Modem Configuration

Cable

, 61-300026-01, DB-25

plug to DB-9 socket, 6ft.

•(6) Power Supply,

Step 2 —Connect the System

Caution: Be certain all cables are connected BEFORE applying

power. Always power down BEFORE disconnecting cables.

To connect the system, do the following:

1. Connect the scanner

(

) to the “SCANNER”

connector on the IC-

331

interface converter

(2) using the

attached

3-foot custom

cable.1

2. Connect the IC-331

directly to the

“SCANNER” 15 pin

connector on the

IB-131 (3).

3. Connect the Host

Computer (4) to the

IB-131

“HOST” 25-pin

connector via the Null Modem Config. Cable (5).2

4. Connect Power Supply (6) to the IB-131 “POWER” connector.

5. Apply power to the system.

1. Since power supply is included in the single cabling assembly, the scanner cable should not

exceed 3 feet. RS-232 cabling from the IB-131 to the host can be up to 47 feet provided it

does not include power input.

2. If using your own null modem RS-232 host cable, be certain that the host’s TxD connects to

the scanner’s RxD and the scanner’s TxD connects to the host’s RxD.

Step 4 —Select Scanner Model

When you start the program,

this menu will appear:

1. Select MS-3 Laser

from the menu and

click OK. If you do not

want to make this

selection every time

you load ESP,

uncheck “Show this

window at Startup”.

2. Select the default

name (MS-3 Laser-1,

for example) or type

in a file name of your

choice and click OK.

3. Click Yes when the

connect dialog

appears.

Note: If you need to select another model later, you can find it in App

Mode under Model on the menu bar.

Step 5 —Autoconnect

1. In the Connecting... dialog, if your communications port is not

the default COM1, use the dropdown menu to change your

communications port.

2. Click the Start button.

When connected, the scanner’s settings will be loaded into

ESP and the CONNECTED message will appear in a green

box in the status bar at the bottom right of your screen.

If the connection fails, enable a different

Com Port

, check connections,

and try again.

Tip

: If you do not see the

CONNECTED

DISCONNECTED

message

at the bottom of your dialog, try expanding the

ESP

window horizontally.

Step 6 —Position Symbol and Scanner

Note: Code 39 is the default code type enabled. If you are uncertain

as to your symbology type, enable all codes by selecting the Auto

Discriminate macro in Terminal mode.

1. Set up a symbol at the distance you are using in your application.

2. Avoid bright light or IR light from other sources, including other

scanners.

3. Pitch the symbol or scanner at a minimum of ±15° to avoid

specular reflection (the return of direct, non-diffused light).

Step 7 —Test Read Rate

With this test you can learn the percentage of decodes per images

captured by observing the LEDs (20% through 100%) on the top of

the MS-3 which are active during a read rate test. If the results are

not satisfactory, move on to Step 8 — “Calibrate the Scanner”.

By ESP

After connecting to the scanner, ESP will open in Setup Mode.

1. Click the Test button in Setup Mode to begin the

read rate test.

2. Follow the instructions in Setup Mode.

3. To end the read rate test, click the Stop button.

By EZ Button

1. Press and hold the Test

button on the MS-3 until

you hear one beep and

see one LED momentarily

turn amber. This will

signal the beginning of

the read rate routine.1

2. To end the read rate test

press the Test button

and quickly release.

1. This assumes that the default functions of the test button have not been re-programmed.

Step 8 —Calibrate the Scanner

During the calibration routine, the scanner attempts various settings

to determine the optimum decode rate for the given conditions. In this

process it might do the following:

The test will end automatically when the optimum combination of

settings has been achieved.

By ESP

Click the Calibrate button in Setup Mode to

begin the read rate test.

You can observe the progress of the calibration

routine on the Calibration popup.

Note: You can also use the Calibration menu in App Mode.

By EZ button

Press and hold the

Test

button

until you hear two

beeps and

see two performance LEDs

turn amber to indicate that the

calibration is in progress.

The scanner will beep once

at the end of calibration.
