1. A barcode reader comprising:
a housing having (i) a lower housing portion with an upper surface facing a product scanning region and a substantially horizontal window and (ii) an upper housing portion extending above the lower housing portion with a substantially upright window;
a weigh platter configured to support an object placed on the weigh platter for obtaining a weight of the object, the weigh platter having:
a central region extending in a transverse plane, the central region including a platter window configured to permit light to pass therethrough;
a proximal edge adjacent the upper housing portion;
a first lateral edge extending non-parallel to the proximal edge;
a second lateral edge, opposite the first lateral edge, extending non-parallel to the proximal edge; and
a distal edge, opposite the proximal edge, extending non-parallel to the first and second lateral edges;
a first imaging assembly having a first imaging sensor, the first imaging assembly having a first field of view (FOV) directed through at least one of the substantially horizontal window or the substantially upright window;
a supplemental module removably coupled with at least one of the lower housing portion, the weigh platter near the distal edge thereof, or a frame member, the supplemental module including at least one supplemental imaging assembly having a supplemental imaging sensor having a supplemental FOV.
