Claim 0:
1. A bioptic barcode reader, comprising:
a housing having a lower housing portion with an upper surface facing a product scanning region and an upper housing portion extending above the lower housing portion;
a generally horizontal window positioned at the upper surface of the lower housing portion;
a generally upright window positioned in an aperture in the upper housing portion;
an imaging assembly positioned within the housing, the imaging assembly having a first imaging field-of-view (FOV) that is directed toward the horizontal widow and a second imaging FOV that is directed towards the upright window;
a first mirror positioned within the housing and configured to reflect the first imaging FOV towards the horizontal window;
a first illumination assembly having a first illumination FOV that is directed towards the horizontal window; and
a second illumination assembly having a second illumination FOV that is directed towards the upright window; wherein
no more than 10 percent of a light source of the second illumination assembly is visible within a boundary of the first imaging FOV;
no more than 10 percent of the first mirror is visible within a boundary of the second imaging FOV;
an upper edge of the aperture in the upper housing portion is outside a boundary of the first illumination FOV; and
all or substantially all light rays from the second illumination assembly that pass through the horizontal window, and are not reflected within the horizontal window or off of an object, form respective angles relative to horizontal that are equal to or less than a second angle formed between a normal line of the first mirror and horizontal.
