Abstract

An optical code reader employs a flying spot scanner which traces a plurality of forward scan patterns wherein each is off-set from one another, and a plurality of reverse scans wherein each is off-set from one another and the generation of each forward scan is followed by the generation of a reverse scan. Furthermore, the forward and reverse scans are randomly positioned with respect to one another and other reverse and forward scans.
