ABSTRACT:
A stationary optical scanning system for the decoding of a plurality of optically readable information bearing symbols encoded using at least first and second different optical codes, and for the detection of a plurality of optical targets having at least first and second different target configurations and target data signals representative of the differing target configurations, includes a single optical sensor for optically sensing the different target configurations and optical codes as objects affixed with the information bearing symbols continuously pass within a field of view and for generating the target data signals from the sensed field of view. A first target processor receives the target data signals and detects the first target configuration in accordance with the target data signals to provide a first processor detection signal, and a second target processor separate from the first target processor receives the target data signals and detects the second target configuration in accordance with the target data signals to provide a second processor detection signal. A decoder receives the first and second target processor detection signals and selectively decodes the information bearing symbols in accordance with the received detection signals, wherein the first and second target processors and the decoder are coupled to the single optical sensor.
