Barcode Readers

At first, the barcode resembles little black lines. Each of the lines or bars and varying width represents numbers. In fact, several different codes can be used. The UPC code is probably the most recognized as it is seen on most items found in the local supermarket. Its also the oldest form.

Bar code readers or scanners use a laser to read the numerous black bars black bars then interprets and send the information to a decoder, which translate the complex serious of numbers into words.

The decoder translates the code and into data, the computer understands. This data can be anything about the product being purchased such as the price, inventory, and tracking information.
