摘要： A proximity sensor receives light beams reflected from a goods. A proximity sensor control unit determines that the goods exists when a light quantity of the reflected light received by the proximity sensor exceeds a determination threshold value. The determination threshold value increases as elapsed time since the bar code was read last time becomes longer, and, as a result, a detection sensitivity decreases. A CPU restores a duty of irradiation of the laser beam back to 100% and resumes rotations of a motor for driving an operation optical system when the proximity sensor control unit determines that the goods exists.

摘要： An apparatus for demodulating bar codes is disclosed. In this apparatus of this invention, a distortion quantity calculation unit for calculates a distortion quantity of a bar width of a character to be demodulated by use of bar code data generated by reading the bar codes in which characters are expressed by bar widths. A distortion quantity determining unit determines whether or not a bar width distortion quantity calculated by the distortion quantity calculation unit falls within a range of predetermined values. A first demodulation unit, when determining that the distortion quantity of the bar width falls within the range of the predetermined values, demodulates the character from the bar code data by effecting a first correcting process on the bar width distortion quantity. A second demodulation unit, when determining that the distortion quantity of the bar width does not fall within the range of the predetermined values, demodulates the character from the bar code data by effecting a second correcting process on the distortion quantity of the bar width.
