a barcode scanner which uses different wavelengths of light to produce different fields of view . an example barcode scanner includes a plurality of light devices each having a different wavelength of light and each associated with a different field of view for illuminating an item with a barcode , a plurality of waveband mirrors each reflecting one of the different wavelengths of light from the light devices and transmitting other wavelengths of light , an imager for receiving the different wavelengths of light reflected from the waveband mirrors and for producing corresponding images , and a controller configured to sequentially activate the light devices and the imager and to decode the barcode in an at least one of the images received from the imager .
