Barcode scanners

Overview
Virtually all goods sold in retail have 1-D codes carrying electronics product identification codes (EPC) according to various standards or 2-D codes formatted in form of QR codes typically used for marketing purposes.  Barcode scanners all use a laser diode to illuminate the code, and a laser-diode detector, or a CMOS camera module to read the data. These readers can be fixed at the point-of-sale or hand-held – either tethered or battery operated. Read more
