Barcode Scanner
A barcode scanner, also called a barcode reader or point-of-sale ( POS ) scanner, is a hand-held or stationary input device used to capture and read information contained in a bar code .
How Does A Barcode Scanner Work?
The sensor of the barcode scanner detects the reflected light from the illumination system and generates an analog signal with varying voltage that represent the intensity (or lack of intensity) of the reflection. The converter changes the analog signal to a digital signal which is fed to the decoder.
2D barcodes do require a specific type of scanner called a 2D Imager. The common laser barcode scanner reads codes by reflecting light from the black and white lines of a barcode and since the laser is a single line it only reads horizontally across the barcode.
