Abstract:
1. A decodable indicia reading terminal comprising: a multiple pixel image sensor; an imaging lens configured to focus an image of decodable indicia on said image sensor; a first analog-to-digital (A/D) converter configured to convert an analog signal read out of said image sensor into a first digital signal; a microprocessor communicatively coupled to a system bus, said microprocessor configured to output decoded message data corresponding to said decodable indicia by processing said first digital signal; a communication interface communicatively coupled to said system bus; wherein said decodable indicia reading terminal is configured, responsive to a triggering event, to transmit via said communication interface a decoding result and an indicia readability rating regarding said decoding result based on at least one of a number of scanning attempts to successfully decode the decodable indicia, and a processing time taken to successfully decode the decodable indicia.
