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.
