Abstract:
A trigger for initiating reading, and a lightpipe for displaying the results of the reading, together form an integrated molded assembly for installation into an electro-optical reader.
Abstract:
A raster pattern for reading bar code symbols is created by successively reflecting a light beam off scan mirrors oscillated respectively by a resonant motor drive and by another motor drive driven synchronously with the resonant drive.
Abstract:
A workstation (20) electro-optically reads targets by image capture, and includes a housing, a generally planar window (18), an imaging module, and a generally planar fold mirror (38) between the window and the module. The module has an illuminating light assembly for directing illumination light along an illumination path through the window at a target for return therefrom during reading, and an image sensing assembly for detecting return illumination light through the window along an imaging path over an imaging field of view (30) during reading. The fold mirror (18) folds the illumination and the imaging paths. The fold mirror (38) and the window (18) lie in planes that are substantially parallel to each other to prevent reflections of the illumination light off of the fold mirror (38) and the window (18) from entering the imaging field of view as virtual images that degrade target detection by the image sensing assembly.
