Abstract:
1. A configuration system for configuring a barcode symbol scanning terminal using a two-dimensional barcode, comprising: a two-dimensional imager terminal including a central processing unit (CPU), memory communicatively coupled to the CPU, and a 2D image sensor, and an imager terminal housing in which there is disposed the 2D image sensor, wherein the two-dimensional imager terminal is configured to capture a frame of image data representing a two-dimensional barcode, wherein the two-dimensional imager terminal is configured to determine programming data based upon the frame of image data representing the two-dimensional barcode, the two-dimensional imager terminal further including an input/output (I/O) interface for transmitting the determined programming data; a barcode symbol scanning terminal including a second CPU, a second memory communicatively coupled to the CPU, a scanning terminal housing comprising a first section and a second section, a first laser assembly disposed within the first section of the scanning terminal housing, the first laser assembly including a first laser beam generation unit for generating a first laser beam, one or more mirrors for projecting and scanning the first laser beam, one or more second mirrors for focusing a first reflected laser beam onto a first photodetector unit, the first photodetector unit being configured for detecting the first reflected laser beam, the barcode symbol scanning terminal further including a second laser assembly disposed within the second section of the scanning terminal housing, the second laser assembly including a second laser beam generation unit for generating a second laser beam, one or more third mirrors for projecting and scanning the second laser beam, one or more fourth mirrors for focusing a second reflected laser beam onto a second photodetector unit, the second photodetector unit being configured for detecting the second reflected laser beam, the barcode symbol scanning terminal further including a second I/O interface for receiving the determined programming data from the second I/O interface of the two-dimensional imager terminal, wherein the barcode symbol scanning terminal is operative to be configured based upon the determined programming data received from the two-dimensional imager terminal, wherein the programming data is utilized to determine operating parameters of the bar code symbol scanning terminal.
