Claim 13:
14. A barcode reader located within a first field of view defined by one or more image capturing devices of an external imaging system, the external imaging system being external to the barcode reader, the barcode reader comprising:
a housing;
an imaging assembly positioned at least partially within the housing;
an image decoder positioned at least partially within the housing;
a transmitter; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the imaging assembly, the image decoder, and the transmitter and configured to:
detect a triggering event,
responsive to detecting the triggering event at the barcode reader, cause the imaging assembly to capture a plurality of images of an environment appearing within a second field of view defined by the barcode reader,
responsive to the plurality of images being captured, cause the decoder to attempt to decode an indicia appearing within at least one of the plurality of images; and
perform at least one of:
responsive to receiving a successful decode of the indicia from the decoder, cause the optical signal assembly to transmit, to the external imaging system, a first optical signal based at least in part on the indicia, and
responsive to detecting an object within a product scanning region of the barcode reader and receiving an unsuccessful decode of the indicia from the decoder, cause the optical signal assembly to transmit, to the external imaging system, a second optical signal indicating the object being passed within the product scanning region with no successful decode.
