Barcode scanners, also called barcode readers, are electronic handheld devices designed to read and decode barcodes in various applications. Barcodes are machine-readable data representations in a visual form, typically consisting of a series of parallel lines or dots that represent information such as product numbers, serial numbers, or other data. A barcode scanner contains specialised software that decodes the data within the barcode to a host device, like a computer. These portable machines typically come in different form factors, including gun-style, pistol-grip, and wand-style scanners. They feature a laser or LED that emits a beam of light and a photodetector for capturing the reflected light. The reflected light is then converted into electrical signals for further analysis.
