Patented Quadrus
Technology
Imager for Direct
Part Mark Reading
The MS-Q Quadrus is an aggressive performance
handheld imager for decoding 2D symbols on low
contrast substrates such as metal, plastic, rubber,
and glass. It is optimized to read both linear bar-
codes and 2D symbols and excels at challenging
marks such as those created by direct part mark
(DPM) methods such as dot peen and laser/
chemical etch.
The MS-Q Quadrus is a portable reading solution
for any barcode or 2D application, even with dif-
ficult low contrast codes.

ESP®Easy Setup Program:
Single-point
software provides quick and easy setup and
configuration of all Microscan readers.
Optimized Resolution
The MS-Q Quadrus handheld
imager is available in a high
resolution optical version
which is custom designed
to optimize resolution for
reading small 2D symbols
in direct part mark appli-
cations. Also available, a
standard resolution version
is suitable for reading all
printed symbols, plus many
directly marked symbols.
User-Friendly Design
All MS-Q imagers feature
point-and-click targeting with
a red laser spot to quickly
center the symbol in the
field of view. Beeper, vibrator
and multipurpose perfor-
mance indicators provide
real time feedback.
Aggressive Decoding
Patented Quadrus decode
algorithms provide outstand-
ing performance on difficult
low contrast or damaged 2D
symbols.
Security Option
The secured version of the
MS-Q Quadrus has disabled
image capture and down-
loading. Permanent removal
of its photographic functions
allows use within sensitive
industrial areas where
photographic devices are
prohibited.
IUID Codes
The MS-Q Quadrus can read
IUID codes on a variety of
surfaces. Software enables
IUID code format validation
and constructs the IUID
string for DoD suppliers.
