Abstract

In bar code symbol scanning systems employ-ing laser, optical and sensor components, a mirrorless scanner arrangement mounts one or more of these compon-ents an a drive for repetitively reciprocating movement either about an axis or in a plane to effect scanning.
All of the components are mounted, together in a common assembly to constitute a compact, lightweight scan module which is mounted in an interchangeable, modular manner in housings of different configurations.
