1. An arrangement for in-field managing at least one data capture system operative for capturing transaction data, comprising:
- a) a transaction terminal operatively connected to the at least one data capture system that is movable relative to the terminal, the terminal being operative for processing the transaction data; and
b) means for uploading update data from the terminal to the at least one data capture system while the latter remains operatively connected to the terminal.

14. A method of in-field managing at least one data capture system operative for capturing transaction data, comprising the steps of:
-
a) operatively connecting a transaction terminal to the at least one data capture system that is movable relative to the terminal, the transaction terminal being operative for processing the transaction data; and
b) uploading update data from the terminal to the at least one data capture system while the latter remains operatively connected to the terminal. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. An in-field manageable data capture system, comprising:
-
a) means supported by the data capture system, for operatively connecting the latter to a transaction terminal operative for processing transaction data captured by the data capture system; and
b) a memory supported by the data capture system, for storing update data uploaded from the terminal while the data capture system remains operatively connected to the terminal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An arrangement for in-field managing at least one data capture system operative for capturing transaction data, comprising:
-
a) a transaction terminal operatively connected to the at least one data capture system and operative for processing the transaction data; and
b) means for uploading update data from the terminal to the at least one data capture system without rendering the at least one data capture system inoperative to capture the transaction data. - View Dependent Claims (23)
