How do Laser Barcode Scanners Work?
Laser Barcode Scanners read encoded data (the barcode), decode it, and output the information, usually in text format, to the computers. The most popular method to send the data is via USB or PS/2 connections, acting as a secondary keyboard connected to your PC. There are two types of barcodes in use today: 1D Barcodes and 2D Barcodes. The first step in choosing the right Barcode Scanner is knowing which types of barcodes you will need to read.
What Kind of Barcode Scanner should You Buy?
1> Are you reading 1D or 2D barcodes?
2> How many barcodes do you expect to scan in a day?
3> In what kind of environment (retail, industrial, warm, cold, etc.) will the scanner be used?
