ABSTRACT:
An optical wand interface for coupling electrical output signals representative of a bar code scanned by an optical wand to a fixed bar code scanner with no electrical connection for the signals comprises circuitry for amplifying the output signals from the wand and a light emitter for generating light signals representative of the output signals. The amplifier and light emitter are supported within a housing which includes an optical lens for focusing the light signals generated by the light emitter into the optical input window of the fixed bar code scanner when the housing is positioned thereon. In this way, the electrical output signals generated by an optical wand are converted into light signals which are passed directly to and can be processed by the conventional optical receiving portion of a fixed bar code scanner.
