Barcode scanners
MS-3 Laser
The MS-3 Laser scanner is the performance leader in
Microscan's MS-3 trio that also includes the MS-3 CCD and the
MS-3 Engine.
At 1,000 decodes per second, the MS-3 Laser offers the fastest
read performance in the class of embedded compact bar code
scanners. 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.
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. (See

MS-3 Engine
The MS-3 Engine is the base model offering fewer features than
the CCD and Laser options but at considerable budget savings. No
software, outer case, or power supply provided.
One of the smallest and lightest scan engines in its class, the
MS-3 Engine is ideal for embedded bar code applications where
space is restricted or weight is a consideration. Designed for
industry standard form factor, it offers embedded power
management, bi-directional serial link for dynamic
configuration, and upgradeable flash memory. (See

MS-3
CCD
At up to 270 decodes per second, the MS-3 CCD offers the best
read performance in its class of embedded compact CCD readers.
Advanced CCD technology coupled with proprietary algorithms
makes reading small, damaged, or poorly printed symbols routine.
The ultra-compact size and wide read angle allow for flexible
mounting and positioning when embedded into OEM instruments.
