A method for collecting and processing information bearing indicia (IBI) comprising the steps of: converting light reflected off an IBI into IBI signals representative of the IBI; running at least one signal process for processing the IBI signals on a first processor if the IBI is of a first type; and running at least one signal process for processing the IBI signals on a second processor if the IBI is of a second type, wherein the first processor and second processor are configured to run in parallel.

Parallel decoding scheme for an indicia reader

An encoded information reading (EIR) terminal can comprise a processor, a memory, and at least one EIR device provided by a bar code reading device, an RFID reading device, an NFC reading device, or a magnetic card reading device. The EIR device can be configured to output raw message data containing an encoded message and/or output decoded message data corresponding to an encoded message. The EIR terminal can further comprise at least one communication interface, a display provided by a built-in display and/or an external display, and a user input device provided by a built-in keyboard and/or an external keyboard. The EIR terminal can be configured to transmit the raw message data and/or the decoded message data to an external computer.

Encoded information reading terminal in communication with peripheral point-of-sale devices

A decodable indicia reading terminal for reading a substrate bearing decodable indicia may include an imager-based scanner and a platter. The imager-based scanner may be disposed within a housing and include a multiple pixel image sensor and an imaging lens configured to focus an image on the decodable indicia on the image sensor. The platter may be on the housing, the platter may surround the image-based scanner, and the platter may have a texturized surface. The texturized surface of the platter may reduce the amount light being perceived when the light is reflected from the texturized surface compared to a platter having a brushed surface aligned in a substrate motion direction.
