Imager for Direct Part Mark Reading
The MS-Q Quadrus is the most aggressive handled imager available for decoding symbols on low contrast substrates such as metal, plastic, rubber, and glass. It is optimized to read both linear and 2D symbols that use direct part mark (DPM) methods such as dot peen and laser/chemical etch.
With custom optics and advanced decode algorithms, the MS-Q Quadrus provides the decoding power of a smart camera into a powerful handled device.

Optimized Resolution
The MS-Q Quadrus handled 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 applications. 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 performance indicators provide real time feedback.
Aggressive Decoding
Patented Quadrus decode algorithms provide outstanding performance on difficult low contrast or damaged 2D symbols.
Security Option
The secured version of the MS-Q Quadrus has disabled image capture and downloading. Permanent removal of its photographic functions allows use within sensitive industrial areas where photographic devices are prohibited.
System Integration
All MS-Q imagers are available in 3 configuration options including batch, cabled and wireless Bluetooth.
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.
