Abstract
A scanner constructed so that it includes a built-in stand which allows it to sit generally upright on a table when not held in the hand. The scanner can be programmed to automatically scan labels without needing to actuate the trigger, so that when it is set on the table in its 'standing' position it can act as a 'hands free' scanner. The scanner also includes aiming markings to make it easier for the user to intuitively aim the scanner at bar codes.
