More Information
Summary:A decodable indicia reading system can comprise a mobile communication terminal and a removable scanning module. The mobile communication terminal can comprise a microprocessor and a memory. The mobile communication terminal can further comprise at least one wired communication interface including a first electromechanical connector mechanically attached to the terminal housing. The removable scanning module can comprise an encoded information reading (EIR) device and/or an illumination module at least partially disposed within the scanning module housing. Both the mobile communication terminal and the scanning module can be at least partially received by a common housing. The removable scanning module can be configured to be communicatively coupled to the mobile communication terminal via an electromechanical interface comprising a first plurality of wires electrically coupling a second electromechanical connector to a third electromechanical connector. The second electromechanical connector can be electromechanically coupled to the first electromechanical connector. The electromechanical interface can comprises a second plurality of wires electrically coupling the scanning module to the first plurality of wires.
