Combined aiming and visual decode result system

Abstract:

A barcode reader includes an illumination assembly configured to illuminate a target; an imaging assembly configured to capture an image of the target, and a visual indicator assembly that includes: a projection lens; a first light source configured to emit first color light through the projection lens to project an aim pattern onto the target; a second light source configured to emit second color light through the projection lens to project a visual indicator onto the target; and an optical element configured to direct the light from both the first light source and the second light source to the projection lens. A memory and a processor of the barcode reader are configured to cause the first light source to emit light prior to the imaging assembly capturing the image; and cause the second light source to emit light subsequent to the processor successfully decoding a symbology in the captured image.
