Abstract
A method and imaging assembly () are disclosed adapted for reading a target object comprising a scan engine () having a sensor (), focusing optics (), and an imager (). The scan engine includes a field-of-view defining an area to be imaged by the imaging assembly (). A housing () internally lodges the scan engine () and an illumination source (). The illumination source () is adapted to project illumination from the housing (). A boot () extends from the housing () for shaping the illumination as it passes through the boot to form an illumination pattern from the illumination. The illumination pattern substantially conforms to a geometrical shape of the boot () and is adapted to envelope the scan engine field-of-view.
