ABSTRACT:
A method of operating an image reader comprising the steps of: converting light reflected from a target into image data utilizing an image sensor; storing the image data in a display buffer; displaying the image on a display; annotating the displayed image by the operator while the image data is stored in the display buffer, thereby altering the image data in the display buffer; and, transmitting the altered image data from the display buffer; wherein the image sensor, display and display buffer are disposed in a common housing for hand held operation.
