Abstract
A method and apparatus for mounting a compact optical scanner utilizes a one or two-piece mounting bracket to secure the scanner. A bevelled surface on the inside of the bracket cooperated with a conversely bevelled surface on the scanner to prevent removal of the scanner through the top surface of the bracket. Flexible extensions support the scanner and flex out of the way to allow insertion and removal of the scanner.
