Abstract
A reading apparatus is provided for reading indicia. In one embodiment a reading apparatus can include a menuing program and an input/output device. A data source external to the apparatus having a menuing program and an input/output device can transmit reprogram requests and program data through the input/output device. In another embodiment a reading apparatus can have a trigger and first and second operating modes that can be selected by a user. The apparatus having the first and second operating modes can be configured so that a number of image representations that the apparatus stores within a certain time period after a trigger is actuated can be changed from a fixed to variable number when the apparatus is switched from the first to the second operating mode.
