Abstract: In an optical scanning module, for reading indicia with portions of differing light reflectivity, having a light emitter assembly for emitting a light beam towards the indicia, and a detector for receiving light reflected back from the indicia and producing an electrical signal corresponding to the differing light reflectivity of the indicia, an optical scan module component is provided which includes two circuits on respective circuit boards which are angularly mounted, and preferably orthogonally mounted, to each other. The two circuit boards are electrically connected to each other so as to operate together to produce signals to drive the emitter assembly and to process the electrical signal produced by the detector. The first and second circuit boards each form at least a portion of a peripheral side of the scanning module and thus, defining a wall of a chamber having the light emitter assembly disposed therein, and wherein the scanning light beam moves relative to the first and the second circuit boards.

Abstract: In an optical scanner, a component for producing a beam scanning motion is mounted on a first flexible strip or planar spring. One or more additional flexible strips, adjacent the first flexible strip, provide additional support to prevent droop by the first flexible strip under the weight of the scanning component. The additional flexible strips also frictionally damp the low frequency motion of the first flexible strip to prevent interference with scanning due to vibration induced from movement of the scanner by an operator. In two-dimensional scanners, where the component moves in two orthogonal directions at two different speeds, the additional strip type frictional damping is applied to the planar spring which provides the necessary flexible support for motion in the slow speed scanning direction. Also, two-dimensional scanners conforming to the present invention use a gain-guided visible laser diode oriented in a particular manner so that the astigmatism of the laser beam extends the working range by compensating for decreasing fast direction scan line density at points farther away from the scanner.
