About This Manual

This manual provides complete information on setting up, installing, and configuring the
MS-890 Industrial Automation Scanner. The chapters follow the ESP menus, which are
presented in the order in which a scanner might be set up and made ready for industrial
operation. Host serial commands are presented side-by-side with ESP.

ease of use and visual responses to user adjustments.

terminal program, or encoded in Code 128 symbols.
