US 11,960,962 B2 · Bioptic barcode reader with multiple imaging devices

Abstract

Bioptic barcode readers with multiple imaging devices are disclosed herein. An example bioptic barcode reader includes a housing with a generally horizontal window and an upright window, a barcode reading device positioned within the housing, a first imaging device positioned within the housing, and a second imaging device positioned within the housing below the first imaging device. The first imaging device has a first field-of-view directed out of the upright window, the second imaging device has a second field-of-view directed out of the upright window, and a first central imaging axis of the first field-of-view intersects a second central imaging axis of the second field-of-view at an intersecting angle that is greater than or equal to 15 degrees and less than or equal to 55 degrees. The second central imaging axis of the second field-of-view extends upward above the generally horizontal window at a second angle that is greater than 0 degrees.
