Claim 0:
1. A bioptic barcode reader for capturing images of targets presented in a product-scanning region of the bioptic barcode reader, the bioptic barcode reader comprising:
a housing having an interior region;
an imaging assembly having a primary FOV, the imaging assembly including an image sensor with a plurality of photosensitive elements forming a substantially flat surface;
a decode module communicatively coupled to the imaging assembly and configured to decode a barcode captured in an image by the imaging assembly;
a generally horizontal window supported by the housing, the generally horizontal window configured to allow a first light to pass between the product-scanning region and the interior region of the housing;
a generally upright window supported by the housing, the generally upright window configured to allow a second light to pass between the product-scanning region and the interior region of the housing; and
a mirror arrangement positioned within the interior region, the mirror arrangement configured to divide the primary FOV into a plurality of subfields,
wherein the mirror arrangement is further configured to
(i) redirect at least one of the plurality of subfields through the generally horizontal window and
(ii) redirect at least another one of the plurality of subfields through the generally upright window, and

wherein the bioptic barcode reader has no other imaging assembly communicatively coupled to the decode module and used to process images for decoding indicia.
