Abstract
A variable distance angular symbology reader utilizes at least one light source to direct light through a beam splitter and onto a target. A target may be angled relative to the impinging light beam up to and maybe even greater than 45°. A reflected beam from the target passes through the beam splitter and is preferably directed 90° relative to the light source through a telecentric lens to a scanner which records an image of the target such as a direct part marking code.
