Introduction
Product Overview
The MS5145 Eclipse is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.
Equipped with Honeywell’s patented CodeGate® technology,
Eclipse can be used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate
technology allows the user toeasily target the desired bar code
and complete the data transmission with a simple press of a
button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for
menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory
control.
With state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the
MS5145 Eclipse has a longer working range and a wider scan field
than a typical CCD. The width of the scan line grows as the
scanner moves further away from bar codes. In addition, the laser
beam pulses, making lining up bar codes easy and when the
scanner senses a bar code (CodeSense® Mode), the laser beam
automatically switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to
ensure high-speed scanning and accuracy.
Many standard features are included such as: user configurable
Flash ROM, PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSet®2 and
MetroSelect® configuration, and data editing (parsing).

      If your Honeywell Barcode Reader scans the bar code but there is no data, the unit’s configuration may not be correct. Make sure the scanner is configured for the appropriate mode.

    Why does my Honeywell Barcode Reader scan but transmit incorrect data to the host?

      James MayAug 7, 2025
      If your Honeywell Barcode Reader scans, but the data transmitted to the host is incorrect, it may be due to a mismatch between the unit’s data format and the host system’s requirements. Verify the unit’s data format matches what the host requires and ensure the unit is connected to the correct host port.

    What to do if my Honeywell MS5145 – 00 powers up but doesn't scan or beep?

      John DoyleAug 13, 2025
      If your Honeywell Barcode Reader powers up but doesn't scan or beep, it could be due to a couple of reasons: * The unit might be trying to scan a symbology that is not enabled. By default, UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128, and Codabar are enabled. Verify that the type of bar code being read has been selected. * The bar code being scanned might not meet the configured criteria for character length lock or minimum length. Check that the bar code being scanned falls into the configured criteria. The scanner defaults to a minimum of three characters for the bar code.

    What to do if my Honeywell Barcode Reader scans a bar code but locks up after the first scan?

      Robert SmithAug 18, 2025
      If your Honeywell Barcode Reader scans a bar code but locks up after the first scan and the red LED stays on, the unit might be configured to support some form of host handshaking but isn't receiving the signal. If the unit is set up to support ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF, or D/E, verify that the host cable and host are properly supporting the handshaking.

    Why does my Honeywell MS5145 – 00 beep for some bar codes but not others of the same type?
    • T
      Taylor RogersAug 26, 2025
      If your Honeywell Barcode Reader beeps at some bar codes but not others of the same bar code symbology, several factors could be at play: * The bar code may have been printed incorrectly; check for check digit/character/or border problems. * The minimum symbol length setting does not work with the bar code; check if the correct minimum symbol length is set.
