Quick Start Guide
MS-820 Industrial Bar Code Scanner
This guide is designed to get your scanner up and running
quickly. When connected to a host computer with Windows
operating system (98 or above), you can use ESP (Easy Setup
Program) to configure and control your MS-820 Industrial Bar
Code Scanner. In addition to ESP, you can send commands to
your scanner by serial command and by the scanner’s embedded
menus.
For a full explanation of the MS-820’s commands and features,
refer to the Help section of ESP or contact your Microscan sales
representative for the MS-820 Industrial Bar Code Scanner
User’s Manual, available in digital and print formats.

Step 2 — Connect the System
Caution: Be certain all cables are connected BEFORE applying
power. Always power down BEFORE disconnecting cables.
1. Connect the scanner (1)
to the IB-131 Interface
Box (4) using the sup-
plied cable (5).
2. If making up your own
cable, make certain that
you connect transmit pins
to receive pins.
3. Connect the IB-131 (4)
at the “HOST” 25-pin
connector to the com-
puter (2) via a null
modem cable (3).1
4. Connect the power sup-
ply (6) to the IB-131’s
POWER connector.
5. Connect power to the system.
1. When wiring the IB-131 to a Host Computer that has a 25-pin connector, cross
pins 2 and 3. When wiring the IB-131 to a Host Computer that has a 9-pin
connector, do NOT cross pins 2 and 3.

Step 6 — Position Symbol and Scanner
1. Set up a symbol at the scanning distance you will be using in your
application.
Note: If using an I 2/5 symbol, verify that the number of characters
in the symbol being scanned matches the symbol length enabled for
the I 2/5 symbol type (default is 10 and 6).
2.Avoid bright light or IR light from other sources, including other
readers.
3. Pitch the symbol or reader at a minimum of ±15° to avoid specular
reflection (the return of direct, non-diffused light).

Step 7 — Test for Read Rate
If you don’t have a test symbol, print out this page and use the symbol
here for testing. With this test you can learn the percentage of decodes
per images
captured
by
observing
the active LEDs
(20% through 100%)
on the top of the scanner.
By ESP
After connecting to the reader, ESP will open in Setup Mode.
1. Click the Test button in Setup Mode to begin the
read rate test.
2. Follow the instructions on the Setup Mode screen.
3. To end the read rate test, click the Stop button.
Note: If the reader is in the default Continuous Read mode, it will
read and beep repeatedly as long as a readable symbol remains in
the read range, and as long as the Read Cycle configuration has not
changed.
By Serial Command
Send a <C> to begin the read rate test.
Send a <J> to end the read rate test.
Code 39 Test Symbol
You can also find test symbols
packaged with your Microscan
Tools CD.
