Abstract
A bi-optical workstation has dual windows and an imaging reader for electro-optically reading indicia on targets to be processed at the workstation through at least one of the windows. An upright window of the workstation is protected from scratching and/or contamination by deeply recessing the upright window in a raised housing portion of the workstation, and by spacing the upright window away from a front wall of the raised housing portion by a spacing exceeding one-half of an inch. A pair of protection bars is advantageously exteriorly mounted on the upright window and located in the spacing to block contact of the targets with the upright window.
