This is used to read barcodes on items. Barcodes are series of alternating dark and light vertical bars of varying widths which contain encoded data. These black vertical bars are what the barcode scanner reads and translates into human readable form. For products, the barcode scanner is used to read the information contained in the barcode, providing the person at the sales point necessary information to clear the item for sale. Barcode scanners are also useful in inventory control. Barcode Scanners come in different model types – handheld, desktop.
Handheld barcode scanners are ideal for warehousing, retail, distribution, manufacturing and all points in between.
Desktop barcode scanners are ideal for retail environments checkout.
Barcode scanners whether handheld or desktop are manufactured based on technology (laser, imager, or CCD technology) and connectivity (WiFi, USB, Ethernet, or Bluetooth). Choosing the correct barcode scanner depends on the nature of its use and the environment to be used in.
