Microscan MS-3 Engine

For simple embedded bar code scanning, the Microscan MS-3 Engine offers a small size and reliable performance with minimal budget impact.

One of the smallest and lightest scan engines in its class, the Microscan MS-3 engine is ideal for embedded bar code applications where space is restricted or weight is a consideration. Designed for industry standard form factor, it offers embedded power management, bi-directional serial link for dynamic configuration, and upgradeable flash memory.

The Microscan MS-3 engine is part of Microscan's MS-3 trio that also includes the Microscan MS-3 CCD and the MS-3 laser. The Microscan MS-3 engine is the base model offering fewer features than the CCD and laser options but at considerable budget savings.
