Cannot use EZ Trax with the MS Connect 210 over Ethernet


While you can connect to Quadrus Mini series via ethernet using Microscan ESP, you can't download images from a Mini Velocity,for example, thru the MS Connect. The same goes for Microscan's EZ Trax software.
This would be a truly fast way to retrieve/store images over a network.

Microscan Mini Velocity Reads Codes On The Fly


Microscan Mini Velocity Reads Codes On The Fly
Microscan's latest product, the Mini Velocity is another addition to the Mini family.
The Velocity has a different shutter that allows for capture of products in fast motion. - 100 inches per second.
We've tested it at 100 fpm and 4.5 inches away very successfully capturing the entire field of view. I believe external lighting would be needed for faster speeds.
The Velocity is the first Mini to feature Q-Mode, a new Microscan decoding algorithm, which allows datamatrix decodes down to 1.5 pixels/element.
