ABSTRACT:
A bar code scanning system such as for use in retail checkout in which the scanning system has a conveyor defining a first surface and a second surface disposed adjacent the first surface and arranged generally orthogonally thereto forming a scan volume therebetween; sets of pattern mirrors positioned adjacent the respective surfaces; and one or more laser beam sources associated with a rotating mirror polygon for producing scan patterns which are routed to the pattern mirrors and out through the respective surfaces into the scan volume.
