1. An optical reader comprising:
- an imaging assembly;
a memory;
a programmable controller in communication with said imaging assembly and said memory, said memory having stored therein a program controlling operation of said controller;
wherein said programmable controller is programmed to store image data into said memory and to attempt to decode said image data in accordance with a plurality of different decoding programs, the plurality of different decoding programs including more than one different 1D symbology decoding programs, and more than one different 2D symbology decoding programs, wherein said programmable controller is further configured to disable a plurality of said more than one 1D symbology decoding programs upon receipt of a user activated command to disable a plurality of 1D symbology decoding programs, and wherein said programmable controller is further configured to disable a plurality of said more than one 2D symbology decoding programs upon receipt of a user activated command to disable a plurality of said 2D symbology decoding programs.
