We've had really good luck with Microscan's HS-2 reader. We've found it to decode very fast and read some codes that aren't so good. Also, its interface with Microscan's ESP software has been pretty robust compared to the MSQ.
However, I had ESP crash while downloading to the reader and it got locked up and wouldn't read any default bar codes. We had to perform a hardware reset as described below.
Unplug the HS2 from the USB port
Hold down the trigger and plug it into the USB port
Wait for 5 rapid beeps and then release the trigger
Hold down the trigger again for about 5 seconds
The reader will vibrate then release the trigger
It will beep a few more times but will then be reset
This Blog was created to help people solve bar code and data collection applications with Microscan bar code readers and vision systems.
