Bar Code Scanners - Know the Features |
 Barcode Scanners are hand-held or stationary devices used for capturing information from barcodes. A barcode scanner consists of a code reader and a decoder. These devices are connected to a computer through compatible ports
The earliest, most basic and cheapest bar code scanners consisted of a fixed light and a single photo sensor. Modern barcode scanners have polygonal mirrors and use laser scanning technology. Laser barcode printers have the advantage of reading barcodes from any angle.
Bar code scanners are available in different varieties like hand-held, hands-free, wearable, rugged, scan engines, laser and digital. Pen-wand scanners are the simplest and most portable type of such devices. They have to be kept in direct contact with the barcode and held at a precise angle to interpret the barcodes. Modern day digital cameras have enough resolution to capture both 1D and 2D barcodes.
The latest in barcode scanning technology is mobile barcode scanners which use color code and mCode (new two-dimensional code format) to scan barcodes.
General purpose scanners are used at checkout counters and hospitals. These are also used to process identification documents. Certain other kinds of scanners, like rugged scanners, are used in harsh or extreme conditions.

Laser Scanners vs. Camera Scanners
 Laser scanners and camera scanners are widely used these days. Camera scanners scan and capture the barcode images, which are then processed by sophisticated image techniques to decode the barcode.
Laser scanners use lens to read the codes. They can read the barcodes even from a distance of 24 inches. Moreover, they can be positioned at any angle to read barcodes. High-end laser scanners can read barcodes even from a distance of 30 feet.
