摘要

A point-of-sale data terminal device (20) includes an optical scanning unit mounted (24,30) in one of the wall portions (22,28) of the terminal device. In one embodiment of the invention, the scanning unit (24) includes a support member (32) which extends outwardly from and is rotatably mounted in the wall portion (22) enabling the support member (32) to be orientated in a plurality of scanning positions. In a second embodiment of the invention, one or more scanning units (24,20) are mounted flush with a wall portion (22,28) to project scanning light beams in a vertical and/or horizontal direction outwardly from the terminal device (20).
