DECODABLE INDICIA READING TERMINAL WITH COMBINED ILLUMINATION
First Claim
1. A decodable indicia reading terminal comprising:
- an illumination assembly comprising;
an indicator light bar configured to emit first light having a first wavelength; and
an illumination light bar configured to generate illumination for illuminating a surface bearing an indicia by emitting second light having a second wavelength;
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to decode the indicia; and
optics for diffusing the first light;
wherein the first wavelength is substantially equal to the second wavelength; and
wherein the indicator light bar is located spatially close to the illumination light bar such that the indicator light bar camouflages the illumination light bar.

Abstract
A decodable indicia reading terminal can comprise a laser-based scanner, an imager-based scanner, a central processing unit (CPU), and an illumination assembly. The illumination assembly can include an indicator light bar and an illumination light bar. The ON/OFF state and color of the indicator light bar can reflect the state of the decodable indicia reading terminal. The illumination light bar can be configured to generate a high intensity illumination for illuminating the substrate bearing the decodable indicia. The wavelength of the light generated by the indicator light bar can be substantially equal to the wavelength of the light generated by the illumination light bar, and the light generated by the illumination light bar can have a very low perceived intensity.
