Portable, stand-alone, desk-top laser scanning workstation for intelligent data acquisition terminal and method of scanning

摘要: A portable, stand-alone, desk-top, laser scanning workstation includes a head mounted above support base. Objects bearing bar code symbols to be scanned are passed underneath the for overhead scanning, or along one side of sideward scanning. The oriented face-up towards handler all during their passage through facilitate sighting and registration symbol with light beam generated by head. is self-supporting, fully can process objects different sizes, grants access from either workstation. connected microprocessor-based microcomputer which within desk-top console, as well variety peripheral devices such printer, keyboard, communications port, audio-visual annunciators data display. workstation, console constitute an intelligent laser-based acquisition terminal use in applications.
