eader) scanner (FIS 610-0018) can be 

configured to work in Stand-Alone mode (Single Read Head) as well as 
Multidrop mode (Multiple Read Head.)  Most of the current bar code readers 
have been shipped to accommodate both single read head and multiple read 
head, with the addition of the Multidrop Series 5000 concentrator. This manual 
provides a description of the installation and operation of the Microscan 600 
series Bar Code Reader and Multidrop 5000 concentrator for single or multiple 
read head applications on the AGILENT 5DX Automatic Inspection System. 
Section One (1) discusses the configuration of the single read head BCR.  
Section Two (2) discusses the configuration of the multiple read head BCR and 
concentrator.

While many of the installation and operation parameters associated with this 
system are specific to the 5DX/BCR interface implementation, this manual has 
not been designed to serve as a theory of operation or software implementation 
specification. This manual has been designed to assist personnel in the 
installation and operation of the BCR subsystem for the AGILENT 5DX 
product line.  Agilent Technologies provides the bar code reader, cables, 
connectors, power supplies and other accessories.
