Increase Decode Speeds on the Quadrus Mini 3


Increase Decode Speeds on the Quadrus Mini 3

Disable Pre-processing

We have yet to discover any impacts of changing the setting on the Mini3 at this point. Our testing showed decode times improved by 2X to 3X from the Enabled Pre-Processing times. The screen shot below shows one of the locations in ESP.

Microscan MS Connect 210 Ethernet Solution



Microscan MS Connect 210 Ethernet Solution
This 2nd generation interface box has been improved and will replace the 200 series by the end of 2007. I've tested this box extensively with the MS860 and the Quadrus Mini and I'm thrilled with all the improvemetns they've made and the new features they've added. This box allows any Microscan reader to become ethernet capable.

Call us for a demo of the product 765.742.9894 or email us

New Features:

  • FF clears the display
  • TCP/IP Ethernet
  • Factory Ethernet (Ethernet IP)
  • Industrial Ethernet IP external connector
  • Ability to disable front panel buttons
  • On board DB9 config connection
  • Standard Cat 5 cable connection
  • Direct connect for Ethernet ready Readers

IP address and port# is all you need to start communicating with this box on your network. Microscan ESP version 3.8 adds a nice way to configure the box but not the scanner Never being satisfied, here's what would be really great for this product.

Wish List:

  • HMTL interface for a web browser
  • Configure the scanner w/ESP via Ethernet
