Abstract

A compact beam scanning information readout device and method for reading bar code or other information requires little or no orientation of the information to be scanned by virtue of its raster or omni directional scan capabilities. Only a single mir-ror (9) is needed to generate two dimensional scans. Scanning in two dimensions may be done with independent and continuous control of thescan in each dimension. The scan patterns may be electronically controlled to instantly achieve various orientations ranging from a straight line rotated about a point to continuously rotating complex patterns. A light collector (1), light detector (3), processor (19), and means of signal transmission (29) are also included, In one embodiment the device is packaged in a hous-ing (250) resembling a wand or a thin flashlight and in another embodiment the device is packaged in a ceiling mountable hous-ing (370) which will not interfere with counter top work space.
