Step 2 — Connect the System
Connecting the MS-890 Standalone
• Attach the configuration cable (2) to the 9-pin (preferred) or 25-pin
connector (on bottom of unit) to configure, test, and default the scanner.
• Attach the power supply cable (3) to the 3-pin power connector on the
bottom of the scanner.

Step 3 — Install ESP
Easy Setup Program (ESP) is Microscan’s proprietary setup and testing
application. The purpose of ESP is to provide a quick and easy way to set
up and configure Microscan products.
When the MS-890 is connected to a host computer (Windows Vista, XP, or
2000), ESP can be used to set up communication with a host, configure various
firmware settings, and control verification processes.

Step 4 — Select Model
When you start ESP, this menu will appear:

Important: To migrate MS-880 settings to MS-890 settings, refer
to Chapter 2, “Using ESP”, in the MS-890 Industrial Automation
Scanner User’s Manual.

Hardware Configuration
Caution: Be sure that all cables are connected BEFORE applying power
to the system. Always power down BEFORE disconnecting any cables.

If installing from a Microscan Tools CD:
1. Insert the Microscan Tools CD in your computer’s CD drive.
2. Choose ESP Software from the main menu.
3. Select the Current Version of ESP and follow the file download prompts.
If downloading from the web:
1. Go to www.microscan.com
2. Create a new account or, if you are already a member, enter your user
name and password.
3. Click the Download Software link and extract the latest version of ESP
to a directory of your choice. Note where your ESP.exe file is stored on
your hard drive.
4. At the end of the installation process, the following icon will appear on
your desktop:
5. Click the ESP icon to start the program.
System Requirements for ESP
• 166 MHz Pentium processor (recommended)
• Windows XP or 2000 operating system
• Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
• 64 MB minimum RAM
• 40 MB minimum disk space

• Select the MS-890 from the menu and click OK. If you do not want to
make this selection every time you start ESP, uncheck “Show this dialog at
startup”.
• Click Yes when the following dialog appears:
Note: If you need to select
another model later, click
the Switch Model button
near the top of the screen.

Step 5 — Autoconnect
• Select the appropriate port and click Start when the following dialog
appears.

Step 6 — Receive Settings
To copy the scanner’s memory settings into ESP, right click in the configuration
window and select Receive Reader Settings from the dropdown menu.

When you select Receive Reader Settings, the settings from the scanner’s
memory are sent to ESP.

• You can also calibrate from the Terminal by sending <@CAL>.
• Allow some time for the scanner to cycle through the focus, gain, and
tracking settings. Do not move or disturb the scanner or test symbol while
calibration is in progress.
• When calibration is complete, the settings that provided the highest read
rate will be selected. You will see one of the following messages: “Calibration
Passed,” “Calibration Failed,” or “Original Settings Were Optimal.”

Step 9 — Test Read Rate
Important: To receive symbol data through the 9-pin configuration port, you
must enable the port with the following command: .
• Position the symbol in front of an operational MS-890 scanner.
• Click the Utilities button.
• Click the Start button in the Read Rate view.

If calibration has passed, the scanner sends data to the host computer and
emits a beep (if the beeper is enabled) for each good read.
Move your symbol toward the scanner and away from the scanner until the
decode rates drop off in each direction. This will give you a sense of the depth
of field (inner and outer ranges) for your symbol’s density and range.

Note: To silence the beeper, interrupt scanning by removing or blocking
the test symbol, or send a  command to disable the beeper.

If calibration fails, try the following:
• Check the read range for your particular symbol density.
• Examine symbol quality and try a different sample symbol.
• Slightly skew or tilt the symbol or scanner to minimize specular
reflection.
• Verify that the correct symbology is enabled.

Note: If the scanner is in the default Continuous Read mode and not in read
rate or calibration routine, it will read and beep repeatedly as long as a readable
symbol remains in the read range and the read cycle configuration has not
changed.
• To end the read rate test, right click Read Rate and select the Stop button.

Important: If using Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols in your application, verify
that the number of characters in the symbols being scanned matches the
symbol length enabled for the I-2 of 5 symbology (default is 10 and 6).

Note: If your RS-232 host settings
cannot be changed to match the
scanner’s settings, select Connect...
from the Connect menu in the menu
toolbar, and then click the Force
Connect box when you see the dialog
shown at right.
