Abstract of the Disclosure A two part data gathering system for use in a checkout counter to determine information relating to products to be purchased comprises a scale supported within the checkout counter for determining weights of products, the scale including a load receiving subplatter located below the upper surface of the counter. An optical scanner is supported upon the load receiving subplatter for reading coded labels on the products. The optical scanner has an upper surface including an optical scanning window through which scanning light beams pass and is vertically positioned such that its upper surface is substantially aligned with the upper surface of the checkout counter when the optical scanner is supported upon the scale subplatter. The weight of the optical scanner is eliminated from the weight readings provided by the scale and the upper surface of the optical scanner becomes the scale weighing platter for receiving products to be weighed by the scale. The two parts of the data gathering system, i. e. the scale and the optical scanner, can be separately manufactured, packaged, tested and shipped to the field where they are individually installed to ease and facilitate installation and removal of the two part data gathering system.
