Abstract
Adjustable reader arrangement and method of reading encoded indicia formed on an object. The reader arrangement comprises a base and a detector removably connected to the base for detecting the indicia. The detector has a first portion thereof adapted to be removably connected to the base and also has a second portion thereof pivotably adjustable into alignment with the indicia formed on the object. An emitter is coupled to the detector for emitting a signal indicative of the indicia detected by the detector. The reader arrangement is ergonomically conducive to reading encoded information on the object as an operator brings the object in the vicinity of the reader.
