A transaction terminal including a display, a housing, an imaging module
assembly wherein the imaging module assembly comprises a control and
decode circuit, an imaging module, and a light pipe disposed optically
forward of the imaging module. The light pipe may be in a tubular
configuration and may include a first end disposed inside the housing and
a second end extending to an exterior of the housing. The transaction
terminal may include a motion detector generating a motion detection
signal that serves as a trigger signal. When a motion detection signal
changes state from OFF to ON, light sources of the LEDs are actuated so
that a user is notified of a decoding function of the terminal.
