Abstract: Describe is a computing device comprising an imaging arrangement, a processor and an output arrangement. The imaging arrangement obtains an image. The processor processes the image to determine a corresponding status of the image as a function of at least one predetermined decodability parameter. The output arrangement displays the image and a feedback signal of the corresponding status.

Abstract: A system is provided for selecting a particular barcode on an item that includes multiple barcodes. The system (1) acquires, via a barcode imager, an image of the item within the field of view of the barcode imager, (2) analyzes the acquired image to determine a set of potential barcode fields, (3) determines, using a predetermined criterion (e.g., distance from center of imaged area, type of bar code, etc.), a candidate barcode field from among the set of potential barcode fields, (4) displays a modified image derived from the acquired image, wherein the candidate barcode field is identified within the modified image, and (5) allows the user to initiate a decode session when the candidate barcode field includes the desired barcode.
