Indicia decoding device with security lock
First Claim
1. A securable indicia decoding device comprising:
- an imaging subsystem comprising an image sensor array and an imaging optics assembly operative for focusing an image onto the image sensor array;
a memory capable of storing frames of image data comprising data communicated through the read-out portion of at least some of the pixels during the imaging operation;
a processor operative for receiving one or more of the frames of image data from the data storage element and performing a decode operation for attempting to decode a decodable feature represented in at least one of the frames of image data; and
a housing encapsulating the illumination subsystem and the imaging subsystem, the housing comprising a lock receiving portion for receiving a security lock;
wherein the lock receiving portion comprises;
a lock receiving slot shaped to allow passage of a T-shaped locking beam; and
side braces comprised in the security lock through the lock receiving slot.

Abstract
A securable indicia encoding system with a lock receiving portion is disclosed herein. In one illustrative embodiment, a securable indicia decoding device may include an imaging subsystem, a memory, a processor, and a housing. The imaging subsystem may include an image sensor array and an imaging optics assembly operative for focusing an image onto the image sensor array. The memory may be capable of storing frames of image data comprising data communicated through the read-out portion of at least some of the pixels during the imaging operation. The processor may be operative for receiving one or more of the frames of image data from the data storage element and performing a decode operation for attempting to decode a decodable feature represented in at least one of the frames of image data. The housing may encapsulate the illumination subsystem and the imaging subsystem. The housing may include a lock receiving portion for receiving a security lock.
