  • Display-equipped optical reader having decode failure image display feedback mode
    Publication number: 20030089775
    Abstract: The invention is an optical reader configured to operate in a decode fail image display feedback mode. When operating in a decode fail image display feedback mode, a reader according to the invention waits for a trigger to be actuated, and when a trigger is actuated captures a frame of image data and attempts to decode decodable indicia represented within the frame of image data. The reader displays an image corresponding to a recently captured frame of image data on the reader display to aid in the user in positioning the reader relative to a display, but only in the case that decoding is unsuccessful. If decoding succeeds no image is displayed on the reader display.
