WHAT IS BARCODE SCANNER..??
A barcode scanner is also known as a barcode reader is an electronic device that decodes and automatically captures data’s coded in barcodes. It consists of the following technology components, which accurately work together to captures data’s contained in a printed barcode.
- Light source – Illuminates the barcode for proper reading.
- Lens – Scans the barcode image.
- Photo conductor – Translates optical impulses into electrical ones.
- Decoder – Decodes and Analyzes the data and sends the matter to the scanner’s output port. A decoder can be internal or external.
- There are three primary barcode scanner engines, which decode or read a barcode:
- Laser – Uses a laser light source to read linear or one-dimensional (1D) barcodes.
- Linear Imager – Reads/Scans linear barcodes by capturing an image of the barcode.
- 2D Area Imager – Reads/Scans linear and 2D barcodes by capturing an image of the 2D barcode.
Barcode scanner types
- Handheld – The most commonly seen and general purpose type of barcode scanner. Comes in both wired and wireless (cordless) models.
- Mobile computers – Combines functionality of a PC and a integrated barcode scan engine into the device. We get confused with cordless barcode scanners.
- Presentation - A type of hands-free scanner that allows users to easily scan multiple items. Also known as an on-counter or multi-purpose scanner or often mentioned as Holographic scanner.
- In-counter - Similar to a multi-plane presentation scanner except that it fits in table top application for retail POS applications.
- Un-attended scanning systems – Another type of hands-free scanner that reads barcodes using sensors that are triggered when items pass in front of it.
- Wearable – These scanners typically worn on the arm, hand, or finger.
