Abstract
An imaging engine includes a multi-functional structure. This structure functions as an optics barrel. In other words, at least one lens is positioned within the structure. In addition, the structure functions as an attachment/mounting apparatus for an image sensor board, an illumination board, and possibly an illumination/targeting lens structure as well. The structure may also provide a mechanism for attaching/mounting the imaging engine to another structure, such as the housing of a graphical code reader.
