Abstract
An optical code scanner is presented that includes multiple scanning windows for reading an optical code where each scanning window can be optimized for reading optical codes presented in either printed or electronic form. The optical code scanner supports multiple scanning modes where each scanning mode is based on a different method of reading optical codes and each method offers different advantages. Each of the multiple scanning windows is assigned to use one of the scanning modes. The scanning mode for a window can also be reassigned at any time to a different mode.
