Barcode scanners and barcode readers might seem like the same thing, but there is a big
difference between the two. Barcode scanners are usually less expensive and are used for
general barcode scanning purposes. They can be used in a variety of settings, such as
supermarkets, convenience stores, or pharmacies.
Barcode readers, on the other hand, are more expensive and are designed for use in more
specific applications. They are often used in industrial or business settings where barcodes
need to be read more accurately. For example, barcode readers might be used in a
warehouse to scan barcodes on products as they are being sorted and processed.
One of the key differences between barcode scanners and barcode readers is the barcode
scanning equipment itself. Barcode scanners are generally handheld devices that have a
barcode reader at the tip. The barcode scanner must be placed close to the barcode in order
to get an accurate reading.
Barcode readers, on the other hand, are desktop or fixed-location machines that are able to
read barcodes from many different angles by swiveling or rotating around them. This makes
barcode readers more efficient for use in warehouse setting, where it would be impractical
for workers to hold barcode scanners up to items as they are being processed.
One of the most important features separating barcode scanners and barcode readers is
accuracy. As mentioned above, barcode can swivel or move around to get a good reading.
barcode scanners, because they must be placed close the barcode, can often produce
inaccurate readings if the barcode is not positioned perfectly. barcode readers are generally
much more accurate because they have more flexibility in terms of how they can scan
barcodes.
Barcode scanners are also generally slower than barcode readers. This is because barcode
scanners rely on optical recognition, which takes time to process. barcode readers, because
of their design and the fact that they do not rely on optical recognition, are able to scan
barcodes much more quickly.
In general, barcode scanner are less expensive and are designed for general scanning
purposes, while barcode readers are more expensive and are designed for more specific
applications. barcode readers are more accurate and can scan barcodes faster than barcode
scanners.
If you need a barcode scanner for general scanning purposes, Datalogic has a variety of
handheld barcode scanners that will suit your needs. If you need a barcode reader for more
specific applications, we also have a variety of barcode readers to choose from. Contact us

Datalogic is a world leader in the design and manufacture of barcode scanners and barcode
readers. For more than 30 years, we have been providing our customers with the best
barcoding products available. Our products are used in a variety of settings, including
supermarkets, convenience stores, and pharmacies.
Our barcode scanners are handheld devices that are designed for general scanning purposes.
They are able to scan barcodes from many different angles and are perfect for use in a
variety of settings. Our barcode readers, on the other hand, are desktop or fixed-location
machines that are designed for more specific applications. They are able to read barcodes
quickly and accurately from many different angles.
Brief Background information on barcodes: A barcode scanner, also called a point-of-sale
(POS) scanner or a price scanner, is a device used to capture and read information contained
in barcodes. The scanner consists of light source, lens and light sensor that translates optical
impulses into electrical ones. They also contain decoder circuitry analyzing barcode data
content provided by the sensor and sending that content to computer(s).
A barcode scanner works by directing beam of light across barcodes and measuring amount
of light reflected back. Dark bars on barcode will reflect less light than surrounding white
space creating a contrast that the sensor can detect. With barcodes, data is captured by
simple pattern matching and decoding algorithms.
Barcodes were invented in 1949 by Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver, two graduate
students at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. They received a patent for the barcode in
1952. The first barcode was used to track products through a grocery store supply chain.
Since then, barcodes have been used extensively in a variety of industries for product
identification and tracking purposes. Today, barcodes are found on nearly every type of
consumer product imaginable.
