Step 6 — Select Communications
Protocol
Important: The Imager is in Continuous Read Mode by default. For best
connection results, be sure that no symbols are within the Imager’s field of
view while attempting to connect.
• When the Select Protocol dialog appears, choose your connection
prot
ocol and click Next.
• If you are using an RS-232 interface and your connection attempt fails,
click the Autoconnect button, select a different communications port,
and try again.

When you are connected, you will see the green connection indicator in
the status bar at the bottom right of your screen.
Step 9 — Test Read Rate
This test will let you know the percent of good reads per images captured.
Testing by EZ Button
1. To start the read rate test, hold down the
EZ
button about three seconds
until you hear
three short beeps
.
While the symbol is being decoded, the read rate LEDs will indicate
the corresponding read rate percentage on the back of the unit.
2. To end the read rate test, press the EZ button and quickly release.
Testing by ESP
1. Click the Test button to start the read rate test and Stop to end it.
If your symbol has been successfully decoded, its data and related
features will be
presented under “Symbol Info
rmation.” Also, while
t
he symbol is being decoded, the read rate LEDs will indicate t
he
corre
sponding read rate percentage on the back of the unit.
2. To end the test, click the Stop button.
Testing by Serial Command
You can also start a test with the <C> or <Cp> command and end it
with the <J> command.
Step 7 — Locate the Symbol
Move the symbol or the Imager so that the blue target pattern is centered over
the symbol. At 2 to 3 inches, the pattern resembles an X. At 3 to 6 inches, the
pattern resembles a V.
It is important for the whole symbol to fall within the field of view (FOV) of the
Imager. The field of view is what appears in ESP’s Locate/Calibrate window.
Locate by EZ Button
If you are not connected to a host computer, the EZ button will allow you to
locate a symbol in the Imager’s FOV.
• Hold down the EZ button for about one second and release when you hear
one short beep. You will see the blue target pattern.
• Center the target pattern on the symbol.
Note: To end all EZ button functions, press the EZ button once and quickly
release.
Locate by ESP
In ESP’s EZ Mode, click the Locate
button to enable the target pattern.
You will see the blue target pattern
projected from the front of the Imager.
• Center the target pattern over the
symbol you wish to read.
• Click the Stop button to end the
Locate function.
Step 10 — Configure and Save
To make setup changes to the MS-4, click the App Mode button.
• Establish communications between ESP and the Imager by clicking the
Connect button.
• Send or receive commands by clicking the Send/Recv button.
• Make changes to Camera options by clicking the Camera button.
• Access the Terminal window, where you can see symbol data and enter
serial commands, by clicking the Terminal button.
• Review status settings or make changes to operational commands by clicking
the Utilities button.
• Format data for output by clicking the Data Output Format button.
Click the Configuration button to display the second row of ESP icons.
From here you can make changes in the configuration trees that can be
accessed by clicking the buttons on the second row of icons in the ESP window.
For further details, see ESP Help in the pulldown Help menu.
Step 8 — Calibrate Settings
The Imager can be optimized by the EZ button, ESP, or serial command.
During calibration, the Imager will flash its LEDs while determining the
best configuration for decoding symbol data. Upon
successful
completion,
a green LED pattern will flash brightly and illuminate the symbol. If unsuccessful,
the Imager will emit 5 short beeps and stop searching.
Calibrate by EZ Button
1. Hold down the EZ button for about two seconds and release when
you hear two short beeps.
2. The Imager will search through various camera and IP settings to
determine the best configuration for decoding symbol data.
Note: To end all EZ button functions, press the EZ button once and
quickly release.
Calibrate by ESP
1. Click the Calibrate button in EZ Mode.
2. The Imager will search through various camera and IP settings to
determine the best configuration for decoding symbol data.
A successful calibration will display a green frame around the symbol,
and the following message will appear: “Uploading all reader parameters.”
After a moment the symbol’s data and related features will be presented
under the “Symbol Information” box below the image display window.
Calibrate by Serial Command
Send <@CAL> to the Imager to begin the calibration routine.
