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.
