An indicia reader system includes: an indicia reader for reading symbol indicia and producing a symbol signal representative of the symbol indicia, the indicia reader capable of transferring and receiving data formatted in a plurality of protocols; a controller capable of transferring and receiving data formatted in a plurality of protocols; and, a translation interface for translating data from the controller which is in a first protocol to a second protocol for receipt by the indicia reader.

Indicia reader that simultaneously operates as a point-of-transaction indicia reader and a serial port device

A method of predicting the location of a region of interest within an image of a scannable object comprising providing a scanner having a processor and an image sensor; sensing in a viewing direction toward a scannable object, with an imaging plane being perpendicular to the viewing direction; capturing an image of the scannable object with the image sensor; sensing motion of the scanner within a motion sensor plane relative to the scannable object, the motion sensor plane being parallel to the imaging plane; outputting a velocity and a movement direction corresponding to the velocity; locating a region of interest in said captured image in response to the velocity and the movement direction; and scanning the captured image beginning with the region of interest.

Acceleration-based motion tolerance and predictive coding

Method for updating indicia readers

A method of operating an indicia reader network comprising the steps of: reading an information bearing indicia of an item with a hand held indicia reader having a first wireless transceiver and generating therefrom an encrypted data message in accordance with a FIPS standard; transmitting the encrypted data message from the indicia reader to a base unit having a second wireless transceiver; decrypting the data message within the base; and transmitting the decrypted data message to a host device, wherein the network is configured so that the indicia reader and the base unit have a linking mode in which a base address of the base unit is sent to the indicia reader, and a reader address is sent to the indicia reader and a request to link is sent to the base unit by way of an encrypted wireless communication between the second wireless transceiver and the first wireless transceiver.

Secure wireless indicia reader

Embodiments of an indicia reading system comprise a terminal and a cradle that communicate via wireless technology and are configured to charge a battery in the terminal using power supplied by a host device when the terminal is operated in a presentation mode.
