An electro-optical system for reading bar code symbols includes a reader module and a terminal module releasably interconnected to each other. The reader module includes a manually actuatable actuator to initiate the reading. Reading is initiated either when the modules are disconnected, or when the modules are interconnected, by manually actuating the actuator in both cases. A keyboard may be provided on either module to facilitate data entry.
