MS-3 Laser Scanner
This guide is designed to get your scanner up and running
quickly. When connected to a host computer with Windows™
operating system (2000 or above), you can use ESP (Easy Setup
Program) to configure and control your MS-3 Laser Scanner. In
addition to ESP, you can send commands to your scanner by
serial command and by the scanners's embedded menus.
For a full explanation of the MS-3's commands and features,
refer to the Help section of ESP or contact your Microscan sales
representative for the MS-3 Laser Scanner User's Manual,
available in digital and print formats.
