Claim 6:
7. A system to detect a potential scan avoidance event during a decode session, the system comprising:
a symbology reader having an imaging assembly with a field-of-view (FOV), the imaging assembly configured to capture, during the decode session, one or more images, the symbology reader configured to (i) transmit payloads associated with transaction affecting barcodes to a point-of-sale (POS) system and (ii) not transmit payloads associated with non-transaction affecting barcodes to the POS system, the transaction affecting barcodes and the non-transaction affecting barcodes being different types of barcodes, the method comprising; and
one or more processors configured to:
during the decode session, attempt to identify a non-transaction affecting barcode within the FOV;
during the decode session, attempt to decode a transaction affecting barcode within the FOV; and
responsive to identifying the non-transaction affecting barcode within the FOV and further responsive to not decoding the transaction affecting barcode within the FOV, determine that the potential scan avoidance attempt has occurred and generate a scan avoidance alarm signal associated with the potential scan avoidance attempt.
