Abstract
A data processing system includes a head for electro-optically reading coded indicia to generate digital decoded data in a predetermined data exchange format. An interface arrangement is used for connecting the head to any selected one of a plurality of electronic devices having individual data processors. Thus, a common data exchange format is established for all the devices, and conversion circuitry is employed for converting the predetermined data exchange format to the common format. The conversion circuitry is operatively connected between the head and the selected device.
