Abstract:
An arrangement for electro-optically reading indicia, comprising:a) a support; b) a first module mounted at a first location on the support, the first module including a source for directing a light beam along an outgoing path away from the first module toward the indicia for reflection therefrom, and a detector having a field of view and operative for detecting light reflected from the indicia along a return path toward the first module, the source and the detector being commonly mounted on the first module; and c) a second module independently mounted on the support at a second location spaced away from the first location, the second module including a movable reflector adjustably positioned in both the outgoing and return paths, and a drive for moving the reflector to scan at least one of the light beam and the field of view, the reflector and the drive being commonly mounted on the second module.
