Abstract:
The present invention relates to optical imaging devices and methods for reading optical codes. The image device comprises a sensor, a lens, a plurality of illumination devices, and a plurality of reflective surfaces. The sensor is configured to sense with a predetermined number of lines of pixels, where the predetermined lines of pixels are arranged in a predetermined position. The lens has an imaging path along an optical axis. The plurality of illumination devices are configured to transmit an illumination pattern along the optical axis, and the plurality of reflective surfaces are configured to fold the optical axis.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for reading optical codes using an optical device; the method comprising:\n generating an illumination pattern, the illumination pattern having an illumination path along an axis approximately the same as an axis of an imaging path; focusing the imaging path along an optical axis using a lens, the lens integrated into the optical device; folding the imaging path using a plurality of reflective surfaces; and sensing an object in the imaging path using an area sensor, wherein the sensor uses only a predetermined number of lines of pixels available to the sensor.
