Abstract
A decodable indicia reading terminal for reading a substrate bearing decodable indicia may include an imager-based scanner and a platter. The imager-based scanner may be disposed within a housing and include a multiple pixel image sensor and an imaging lens configured to focus an image on the decodable indicia on the image sensor. The platter may be on the housing, the platter may surround the image-based scanner, and the platter may have a texturized surface. The texturized surface of the platter may reduce the amount light being perceived when the light is reflected from the texturized surface compared to a platter having a brushed surface aligned in a substrate motion direction.
