ABSTRACT:
A hand-held symbology reader having a handle for grasping by a user and a head attached to the handle for adjustable angular movement of the head relative to the handle between the plurality of angular orientations. The head is selectively retained in a selected one of a plurality of angular orientations. The head is rotatable about three axes of rotation relative to the handle. The reader head has a rectangular pixel array that defines a rectangular imaging area, with the pixel array having a first position with a horizontal dimension of the pixel array that is greater than the vertical dimension of the pixel array, and a second position with the horizontal dimension that is less than the vertical dimension of the pixel array. The reader head is moveable such that the pixel array can be rotated between the first and second positions by rotating the reader head relative to the handle while the handle remains in a fixed position.
