Abstract
A data processing system includes a scanning head for electro-optically reading bar code symbols and decoding such symbols into digital decoded signals; a host device having a predetermined data exchange format for exchanging data and control signals with peripheral equipment; an interface arrangement for interconnecting the host device and the scanning head, including a first connector for direct connection to the host device, a second connector for direct connection to a head cable connected to the scanning head; and a conversion circuit for converting the digital decoded signals from the scanning head into digital data signals having a format compatible with the predetermined data exchange format of the host device.
