キャンニングを可能とした装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fixed scanner used in POS registers at mass sales points, etc., and in particular, the present invention relates to a fixed scanner used in POS registers at mass sales points, etc. , relates to a device that enables easy scanning.
従来、この種のスキャナは発光体が１つで、ビームの発
光方向が一方向からであった。Conventionally, this type of scanner has one light emitter, and the beam is emitted from one direction.
上述したように、従来のスキャナにおいては、ビームが
一方向から発光されるため、品物に付いているバーコー
ドをビーム方向に向ける必要がある。As mentioned above, in conventional scanners, the beam is emitted from one direction, so it is necessary to orient the barcode attached to the item in the direction of the beam.
しかし、これではスキャニングを多く用いる量販店にお

タに必要なる。However, in mass retail stores that use a lot of scanning, the barcode side must always be scanned with the barcode side facing up, down, left, or right, making operations such as turning the wrist unnecessarily or searching for a small barcode side unnecessary. Required by the operator.
そのため、接客処理に時間がかかると同時に、オペレー
タに疲労を与えるなどの欠点がある。Therefore, there are drawbacks such as it takes a long time to process customers and at the same time causes fatigue to the operator.

Aimed at being operated without being aware of the barcode surface, a laser light emitting source consisting of a laser emitter and a polygonal optical system is arranged both horizontally and vertically to the barcode surface to be scanned. A feature is that pattern recognition light is emitted from both, and these two laser emission sources are controlled by one controller.
本発明の実施例について図面に基すいて説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
第１図は本発明の一実施例の概略図である。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

される。In FIG. 1, a vertical fixed scanner 1 has two laser sources, a lower laser source 2 and an upper laser source 4, which are controlled by a laser source controller 6.
ここで、品物７を縦型固定スキャナ１により、スキャニ

物７に付いているバーコード８のデータを読取る。Here, when the item 7 is scanned by the vertical fixed scanner 1, either a vertical laser beam 3 emitted from the lower laser emitting source 2 or an upper laser emitting source 4 is used.
The data of the barcode 8 attached to the item 7 is read by the horizontal laser beam 5 emitted from the barcode 8 .
コントローラ６は２つの発光源から来た信号のうち最初
に来た″正常読取り“の信号を受信し、バーコードを読
取る。The controller 6 receives the first "normal read" signal from the two light emitting sources and reads the barcode.
以上説明したように本発明は、レーザー発光源を２ケ所
