Systems and approaches for dissipating heat in bi-optic reader

A barcode reader comprising:

• a housing having (i) a lower housing portion with an upper surface facing a product scanning region and a substantially horizontal window and (ii) an upper housing portion extending above the lower housing portion with a substantially upright window;
• a platter configured to support an object placed thereon, the platter having a central region extending in a transverse plane, the central region including a platter window configured to permit light to pass therethrough;
• an imaging assembly having an imaging sensor, the imaging assembly having a field of view (FOV) directed through at least one of the substantially horizontal window or the substantially upright window;
• a frame member adapted to provide structural support to at least one of the housing or the platter;
• and
• a reader accessory removably coupled with at least one of the lower housing portion or the platter, the reader accessory including a thermal transmitter adapted to remove thermal energy generated by the reader accessory therefrom;
• wherein the thermal transmitter is thermally coupled with the frame member to transfer the thermal energy generated by the reader accessory thereto.
