About the HS-51 and HS-51X
The HS-51 Wireless Handheld 2D Reader is a general-purpose 2D reader. Its many features
include dual field optics for both High Density and Wide Angle, a ruggedized design, and
compact size.
The HS-51X Wireless Handheld DPM Reader is a special-purpose 2D reader for decoding
direct part marks. Microscan’s X-Mode decode algorithms make the HS-51X an ideal
solution for reading difficult marks on many surfaces, including PCBs, electrical components,
castings, and sheet metal. Its tough design makes it a good choice for manufacturing and
light industrial applications.
Both readers can be configured and tested easily using the intuitive tree controls and user
interface of Microscan’s ESP Software.
Note: The HS-51 and HS-51X Wireless Handheld Readers have unique algorithm
licenses, and the HS-51 cannot be field-upgraded to an HS-51X.
