Abstract
A bar code reader includes a housing and a reader module disposed in the housing for reading bar code indicia and producing an analog signal representative of the bar code indicia. A decoder is coupled to the reader module for receiving the analog signal and decoding the analog signal into decoded data representative of the bar code indicia. A central processor is coupled to the decoder and serves to receive and process the decoded data representative of the bar code indicia. The reader module and the decoder operate independently of the processor.
