          Appeal No. 2001-1342                                                        
          Application 08/994,821                                                      


          the modular board assembly 200 while targeting and illumination             
          assembly 400 includes an illumination assembly 410 for                      
          illuminating the target area 104.  The illumination assembly 410            
          includes two illumination sources, a visible light source 412 and           
          an ultraviolet light source 414.  See page 11 of Appellants’                
          specification.                                                              
               In figure 32, a flow chart is shown at 900 which sets forth            
          the processing associated with reading the dataform 10 which                
          includes a first dataform 16 and a second dataform 18.  At step             
          903, a dataform 10 is illuminated by a visible illumination                 
          source 412.  At step 904, the first dataform 16 is captured.  At            
          step 905, the dataform 16 is processed and decoded.  If the first           
          dataform 16 is decoded the process proceeds to step 906 in which            
          the visible illumination source is deenergized and the                      
          ultraviolet illumination source 414 is alternately energized with           
          the targeting illumination.   At step 908, the second dataform 16           
          is captured.  At step 909, the second dataform 18 is processed              
          and decoded.  If the decode is successful at step 910 the                   
          ultraviolet illumination source 414 is turned off.  By using the            
          flow chart as shown in 900, this allows a single two dimensional            
          photosensor array 200 to capture both sets of data.  See page 21            
          of Appellants’ specification.
