First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating an optical reading device for collecting and processing indicia data comprising the steps of:
- converting light with an image sensor into output signals representative of an image in a field of view (FOV) of the image sensor;
user programming a processor to search the output signals according to a search strategy;
searching the output signals for an information bearing indicia (IBI) within the FOV according to the user programmed search strategy; and
,decoding information contained in the IBI.
