1. An indicia reader, comprising;
a housing;
a first imaging assembly positioned at least partially within the housing, the first imaging assembly configured to generate first image data representative of a first environment appearing within a field of view (FOV) of the first imaging assembly, the first imaging assembly being one of a two-dimensional (2D) imaging assembly or a three-dimensional (3D) imaging assembly;
a second imaging assembly positioned at least partially within the housing, the second imaging assembly configured to generate second image data representative of a second environment appearing within a FOV of the second imaging assembly, the second imaging assembly being another one of the 2D imaging assembly or the 3D imaging assembly;
a printed circuit board having the first imaging assembly and the second imaging assembly mounted thereon;
a decode module configured to receive one of the first image data or the second image data resulting in decoder-received image data and process the decoder-received image data to determine a payload of at least one indicium present in the decoder-received image data;
a controller communicatively coupled to the decoder module and configured to transmit the payload to a host; and
a mirror arrangement positioned at least partially within the housing, the mirror arrangement having a first mirror and a second mirror, the first mirror being a dichroic mirror and configured to pass therethrough light in a first wavelength range and to reflect light in a second wavelength range, the second mirror being configured to reflect light in the second wavelength range,
wherein the mirror arrangement is configured to redirect light from a product scanning region of the indicia reader to the first imaging assembly and the second imaging assembly by:
receiving, at the first mirror, light along a first path within the first wavelength range and the second wavelength range;
passing, through the first mirror, a first portion of the light received at the first mirror toward the first imaging assembly, the first portion of the light received at the first mirror being limited to light within the first wavelength range;
reflecting, by the first mirror, a second portion of light received at the first mirror toward the second mirror, the second portion of the light received at the first mirror being limited to light within the second wavelength range; and
reflecting, by the second mirror, the second portion of light toward the second imaging assembly.
