1. A system for reading optically readable information sets, comprising:

  • (a) a scanner for generating a light beam directed toward an optically readable information set;

    (b) a manually-operable actuator including a controller for operatively controlling the scanner such that said scanner may be selectively optimized to read optically readable information sets over a wide range of distances; and
