Detailed explanation-1: -A barcode reader, also called a price scanner or point-of-sale (POS) scanner, is a hand-held or stationary input device used to capture and read information contained in a barcode.
Detailed explanation-2: -Using Barcode Scanning to Control Inventory and Track Stock The barcode scanner is used to scan the code found on a product. The code is read by your inventory management software, which can then begin to track that specific barcode as the product moves around the warehouse.
Detailed explanation-3: -Scanning head shines LED or laser light onto barcode. Light reflects back off barcode into a light-detecting electronic component called a photoelectric cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Decide which format of barcode is best to use. For inventory management, a code 39 or 128 with a simple alphanumeric format is usually sufficient. If you’re barcoding very small items, you’ll notice the Code 128 is more compact and so possibly better suited for the job.
