Abstract
An omnidirectional optical code reader employs two or more line photo sensor arrays orientated at an angle to one another. Electrical signals from the photo sensor arrays may be converted to digital signals by circuitry located on the die of each of the line photo sensors. Code reader circuitry is located on a circuit board orientated vertically in a backwardly sloping handle of a gun-shaped housing.
