<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a code reader capable of appropriately suppressing incorrect recognition of data by a user. <P>SOLUTION: A code reader includes: means for detecting an optical characteristic distribution of an object existing within a reading range; means for detecting a position of an information code based on the optical characteristic distribution; decode means for decoding the information code within the reading range based on the optical characteristic distribution to output the obtained data; storage means for storing a decode condition. The decode means that decodes an information code in a first range within the reading range using a first decode condition, and that decodes an information code in a second range within the reading range using a severer second condition. When the information code in the first range has been decoded, the decode means outputs data on the information code in the first range and no data in the information code in the second range. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
