MS1890 Focus

Industrial-Grade Area-Imaging Scanner

Honeywell’s MS1890 Focus® industrial-grade area-imaging

provides unmatched scanning performance in challenging environments.

MS1890 Focus maximizes productivity with a set of features previously

unavailable in rugged area imagers.

Engineered to withstand two-meter falls, this IP54-rated omnidirectional

scanner precisely executes applications for retail back-of-store,

manufacturing, transportation and logistics. It excels in punishing

locales such as: dusty warehouses, steamy storerooms, rainy loading

docks and freezing distribution centers.

The MS1890 Focus outperforms the field in decoding all standard bar

codes in a single flash with minimal concern for orientation or print

quality. It reads codes damaged, worn or wrapped in clear plastic.

The MS1890 Focus further separates itself with patented CodeSelect

technology which allows the scanner to capture up to seven bar codes

in a single flash and then decode them in any predetermined order.

Honeywell’s exclusive TotalFreedom™ architecture expands scanner

funtionality by allowing formatting, parsing and decoding plug-ins to

be loaded directly to the MS1890 instead of the host system.

Features

IP54-rated: • Withstands exposure to dirt, dust and

splashing water

Durable Metal Hook: • Creates safer working conditions

by attaching to universal tether

Total• Freedom: Expands scanner functionality by
allowing image processing, decoding and formatting
plug-ins to be loaded directly to the scanner instead of
the host system

Flexible Licensing Solution: • Meets diverse scanning

requirements by offering models with limited decoding
capabilities—purchase decoding licenses to enable
additional functionality as the need arises

Omnidirectional Scanning: • Eliminates need to orientate

scanner to bar code

Code• Select: Scans up to 7 bar codes in a single flash
and outputs data in any predetermined order
