Abstract

An optically-guided indicia reader system includes a conveyor (212) carrying a parcel (214) bearing a destination address. A moving light illumination source (224) defines a spot (230) that moves at the same speed as the conveyor (212) to assist the positioning of the parcel (214). Multi-conveyor systems are disclosed as well as methods of use. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
