Abstract
An optical bar code reader includes a detection system for detecting a large article on which a standard type bar code label is disposed, and a small article on which a reduced type or truncated type bar code label is disposed. When the large article is detected, the optical bar code reader is automatically placed in a coarse scanning mode. When the small article is detected, the optical bar code reader is automatically placed in a fine scanning mode.
