Installing the Optional Fixed Barcode Reader

The fixed barcode reader can be installed on either the side of the Automation
Interface (the portrait position), or in one of three positions at the rear (the
landscape position). Its position, and how you place the plates in the racks,
will be determined by where you place the barcodes on the plates (see
Figure 25 and Figure 26).

long barcodes with the hand-held barcode reader when the plates are mounted in the rack.
If you want to use the landscape position, and also read the plates with the hand-held
barcode reader when they are in the rack, the barcodes must be no longer than 40 mm.
