Versatile graphical code reader for reading different types of graphical codes

A graphical code reader, comprising:

• a first image sensor;
• a first lens for focusing light reflected from a graphical code to form a first image on the first image sensor at a first magnification, wherein the first lens is separated from the first image sensor by a first distance;
• a second image sensor;
• a second lens for focusing light reflected from the graphical code to form a second image on the second image sensor at a second magnification, wherein the second lens is separated from the second image sensor by a second distance, and wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance and the first magnification is greater than the second magnification;
• and
• a decoder for processing image data to obtain information contained in the graphical code.

A graphical code reader, comprising:

• an image sensor;
• a first lens for focusing a first image of a graphical code onto a first region of the image sensor at a first magnification, wherein the first image comprises a first field of view;
• a second lens for focusing a second image of the graphical code onto a second region of the image sensor at a second magnification, wherein the second image comprises a second field of view, wherein the first magnification is greater than the second magnification, and wherein the first field of view is smaller than the second field of view;
• and
• a decoder for processing image data to obtain information contained in the graphical code.
