Dual mode aimer for long range barcode scanning

Abstract

A scanner comprising at least one laser source configured to emit laser beam onto a first target within a field of view (FOV). Further, one or more sensors are configured to determine a distance between the scanner and the first target within the FOV. Further, one or more processors are operationally coupled with the at least one laser source and the one or more sensors. Further, the one or more processors are configured to receive the distance from the one or more sensors. Further, the one or more processors are configured to compare the distance with a predefined threshold value to determine whether the first target is in far-field. Thereafter, the one or more processors are configured to operate the at least one laser source in a flicking-aimer mode on determining the first target is in far-field.
