Patent ID: 7347375

Claim:
A method for reading two-dimensional optical information, comprising: directing a reader at optical information to be read, wherein said reader includes: a housing having a light-transmissive portal; a photosensitive array, located within said housing to capture two-dimensional optical information; an optical system, positioned relative to said photosensitive array and said light-transmissive portal so as to focus two-dimensional optical information onto said photosensitive array; a memory system, coupled with said photosensitive array to store output from said photosensitive anay; and a display system, coupled with said memory system, to display an image of optical information captured by said photosensitive array; displaying an image of captured two-dimensional optical information on said display system; and aiming said reader at a specific two-dimensional optical information indicia to be read at least partially with the aid of information displayed on the display system.
