What is a Barcode Scanner, and How Can It Benefit Your Business?

A barcode scanner is a device designed to scan or read barcodes. Before utilizing the information encoded in a barcode, it must be decoded by the software within the barcode scanner. This converts the alternating black and white bars of a linear barcode or the dots in a QR code into a series of letters and/or numbers, which can then be used to query prices, inventory, websites, or other information. This offers a significant advantage as it greatly enhances the efficiency of your small business or enterprise by eliminating human errors associated with manual data entry and saving a considerable amount of time.

Barcode Scanner Features

An enterprise's barcode scanner can utilize several scanning technologies:

  • Laser Barcode Scanners: Comprising a small semiconductor laser and a moving mirror to create a laser beam. Reflected data is then decoded into useful information. Laser scanners are versatile, reading high-resolution barcodes quickly over long ranges at an affordable price.

  • CCD Barcode Scanners: Function as cameras with a single row of pixels. This technology is robust with no moving parts, offering a cost-effective solution for short-distance barcode reading.

  • 2D Imaging Barcode Scanners: Function like cameras, capturing images of barcodes and using software to collect barcode/QR data. 2D imagers are powerful and omnidirectional, capable of scanning almost any surface, including mobile screens.
