Barcode Scanners FAQs

Barcode scanners detect and measure the intensity of light reflected by the white spaces inside the distinctive pattern of parallel bars. A photodiode interprets the code using light refection and generates an electrical signal that corresponds to the barcode pattern. The electronic signal travels through circuits that transform it back to digits, which are then turned by the system into meaningful text that fits inside the user's database, supplying critical information at breakneck speed.

All barcode scanners are not capable of reading all barcodes. 1D barcode scanners, for example, cannot read 2D barcodes. Furthermore, there are a variety of reasons why barcodes may fail to scan, most of which can be broken down to one of three factors: your equipment isn't suitable for your barcodes, your scanner isn't operating properly, or your barcode labels aren't appropriate to your application or environment.

A barcode scanner is also known as a point-of-sale (POS) scanner or a price scanner. It is a device that captures and reads data from barcodes.

Barcode scanners come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Pen wands, laser scanners, Charge-Couple Device (CCD) scanners, slot scanners, image scanners, in-counter or fixed, wireless scanners, mobile computers, and portable wireless barcode scanners are all examples of these devices.

All barcode scanners function the same way. They all scan barcodes, but different scanner types are used for different sorts of barcodes. The scanning capabilities and features of barcode scanners vary, as does the connection type.
