An optical indicia reader for reading information encoded in optical indicia is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, the optical indicia reader comprises a light source positioned within the indicia reader to illuminate an imaging area containing optical indicia, an oscillatory system for scanning a light beam over the optical indicia, and a controller for controlling the oscillatory system. The controller is capable of directing the oscillatory system to position the light beam in a fixed relationship to an aiming axis of the reader. The oscillatory system may be fixed in position when the optical indicia reader is in a proximity sensing mode.

[ We claim:] [1.] An optical indicia reader for reading information encoded in optical indicia, said optical indicia reader comprising:(a) a light source positioned within the indicia reader to illuminate an imaging area located externally of the reader;(b) an oscillatory system positioned to scan a light beam generated by said light source over optical indicia to be read; and(c) a controller capable of controlling said oscillatory system;wherein said controller is capable of directing said oscillatory system to become fixed in position so that the light beam is in a substantially fixed relationship to an aiming axis of the optical indicia reader.
