Abstract
Processor utilization for a combined transaction terminal and scanner device is controlled during item code image capture, item code reading, and/or read item code communications. Item image capture rates, item image frame reads, and read item code communications are controlled to override preconfigured processing and to reduce processor utilization on the device. This frees up processor capacity for performing other operations during transactions on the device.
