Metrologic Instruments MS700i manual Introduction

Introduction

The MS700i Series Scanners are high throughput projection scanners that incorporate the latest in VLD (Visible Laser Diode) ASIC/VLSI and surface mount technologies. Each scanner consumes only 8 watts of power and can directly connect to many host systems that can support a scanning device. One thoughtful feature is a “sleep mode” that turns the laser and motor off when not in use. Other features include easy-to-see LED indicators that can be viewed from the top or front and a volume control card that can be scanned to control volume levels. There are two programming methods: through the ScanSelect™ programming guide or through ScanSet™ (an IBM PC compatible software program.)

With a scan speed of 2,000 lines per second, these scanners aggressively scan poorly printed bar codes and read torn and bent UPC, EAN and JAN bar codes immediately on the first pass at any roll angle. For close scanning, the MS700i and MS715i’s depth of field of 0.0mm - 178mm (0" - 7") is ideal. To accommodate applications where scanning items farther away from the scan window is preferred, the MS720i’s depth of field of 178mm - 381mm (7" - 15") is ideal.
