ABSTRACT:
A portable data collection device including an integral bar code dataform reader. The device includes a housing configured to be cradled in an operator's hand and be operated as a stand alone unit for dataform reading, data input via user interface keys and a display screen. The device further includes a removable handle with a pistol gripping portion permitting an operator to select between two gripping configurations. The handle is configured to snap fit onto the housing and includes a trigger which is depressed to initiate a dataform reading session. The trigger is part of a trigger assembly which includes an LED and a photosensor supported within a bottom portion of the housing. When the trigger is depressed, a mirror supported by the trigger reflects light from the LED onto the photosensor which results in the activation of the bar code dataform reader. Advantageously, a power source comprising a battery pack is removably disposed in the handle and is electrically coupled to circuitry supported in the housing to supplement a power source supported in the housing and provide increased operating time between rechargings.
