Patent ID: 7222793

Claim:
An imaging arrangement for imaging an optical code or target at a plurality of focal planes comprising: at least one image sensor each having at least one row of pixels for obtaining at least one row of pixel data corresponding to an image focused thereon; at least one objective lens positioned along an imaging axis of the imaging arrangement for focusing an image of the optical code or target on the at least one image sensor for obtaining at least one row of pixel data corresponding to at least a portion of the optical code or target; a mirror positioned adjacent a point defined by an intersection of the imaging axis and an optical axis, wherein the mirror reflects the image received from the optical axis, along the imaging axis toward the optics assembly and the image sensor, wherein the optical axis is defined as a straight path extending between the optical code or target and the mirror; at least one moveable optical element positioned between the at least one objective lens and the at least one image sensor; a motor assembly operatively coupled to the mirror for pivoting the mirror for imaging a field of view; and an illumination device positioned in proximity to the mirror for illuminating a field of view of the imaging arrangement from top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top as the mirror pivots from top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top, respectively.
