Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a housing having a horizontal scanning window; a laser scanning subsystem for projecting a laser scanning pattern through the horizontal scanning window and producing scan data for objects; a scan data processor for processing the scan data produced by the laser scanning subsystem in an effort to read symbols on objects; a weigh scale subsystem comprising a weigh platter above the horizontal scanning window, the weigh scale subsystem for weighing objects placed on the weigh platter and producing weigh data representative of the weight of objects weighed on the weigh platter; and a weighing interference detection subsystem for projecting pairs of overlapping planar IR-based object detection planes normal to the weigh platter about the outer edges of the weigh platter to detect weighing interference conditions and generating control signals indicative of detected weighing interference conditions.
