    摘要: A barcode scanning apparatus that includes a single printed circuit board (PCB) is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing having a head portion and a handle portion. The handle portion extends generally along a handle axis. The single PCB extends along a PCB plane and is positioned at least partially within the housing. The apparatus includes an image sensor having a plurality of photo-sensitive elements that form a substantially flat surface. The single PCB may have a first portion and a second portion, where the image sensor is positioned on the first portion and is further positioned to capture light entering the housing through a window of the head portion. The apparatus includes a frame positioned at least partially within the housing, where the frame includes an oblique angle formed between a front portion and a rear portion, where the PCB is secured by or to the frame's rear portion.

    摘要: Embodiment of the present invention generally relate to bi-optic barcode readers. In an embodiment, the disclosure describes a barcode reader for use in a checkout workstation having a surface. The barcode reader includes: a lower housing portion having a top portion; a first optically transmissive window positioned in the top portion, a top surface of the first optically transmissive window defining a horizontal plane, the top portion of the lower housing being substantially parallel with the surface of the checkout workstation when the barcode reader is used in the checkout workstation; a raised housing portion having a second optically transmissive window, the raised housing portion extending at least partially above the top portion; and a PCB positioned substantially upright relative to the horizontal plane, the PCB having a first imaging assembly and a decode assembly, the barcode reader having no other printed circuit boards with another imaging assembly.
