Microscan Launches Long Range Scanner MS-890

In March of 2007, Microscan, the world's leading barcode product developer, launched the long-range scanner MS-890, which is the latest addition to its industrial laser scanner product line. The new MS-890 not only widely integrates the functions of various scanners, but also is easy to use. It is the most powerful industrial barcode scanner on the market today. Automation engineers using MS-890 do not have to be barcode experts to manipulate the scanner in their applications.

The MS-890 saves time for automation engineers of all skill levels. Using the EZ button on the side of the scanner, you can start the calibration program that automatically optimizes the MS-890's read settings for a specific bar code. Engineers no longer need to spend time and effort learning how to use the product before installing the scanner on the production line. The EZ button can also be used to activate some user-defined functions, such as scanning raster and auto-framing capabilities. Autoframing automatically adjusts the raster to the height and width of the bar code, allowing the scanner to perform optimally when reading stacking bar codes such as RSS/Composite. A green flash immediately prompts the operator for a successful read operation.

"Compared to our previous scanner products, we gave the MS-890 more software features and flexibility while being very easy to use." Matt Van Bogart, product manager for industrial products at Microscan, said, "The EZ button makes the MS-890 easy to use Users do not need to be confused when setting up, it saves valuable time for outstanding engineers."
