Introduction

About the Quadrus EZ Reader

The key features of the Quadrus EZ are:

• A multi-function EZ button for location, calibration, and reading

• “X” pattern symbol locator

• High speed image processing up to 60 reads per second

• Factory-adjustable focus 2 to 10 inches

• Ability to read both 2D and linear symbols

• Ability to read difficult symbols

• Secondary video input from RS-170 non-interlaced analog cameras

To aid in setup, the Quadrus EZ incorporates three primary features: 

• An “X” locator identifies the center point of the FOV

• A calibration feature to optimize readability 

• A green flash (visible from all angles) to signal a successful read

Host Communications

There are four ways to configure and test the Quadrus EZ:

1. EZ button.

2. Microscan’s Windows-based ESP (Easy Setup Program), which offers point-and-click 

ease of use and visual responses to user adjustments.

3. Serial commands, such as 

<K100,1>

, that can be sent from ESP’s Terminal window 

or another terminal program.

4. The tree control menus and graphic interfaces in ESP’s App Mode.
