Bar Code Decoders

About Bar Code Decoders

Bar code decoders use a receiver mechanism to read a barcode and then convert the code into usable data. Bar code decoders can be handheld devices or built-in to a larger system, such as a check-out scanner at a grocery store. Bar code decoders are also used for inventory control, processing sales information, gathering customer data, or monitoring the distribution of products from the factory floor to the warehouse or loading dock.


Products & Services Related to Bar Code Decoders

Bar Code Printers
Bar code printers are used to output bar code data in printed form.
Bar Code Scanners
Bar code scanners are designed to read imprinted bar / matrix code symbologies.  Bar code scanners can be slot card scanners, fixed mount scanners, or hand-held scanners.
Bar Code Software
Bar code software identifies or decodes bar code symbology, generates output strings corresponding to barcode values, creates bar code fonts, prints bar codes, and/or performs tracking, etc.
Fixed Mount Bar Code Scanners
Fixed mount bar code scanners are designed to manually or mechanically read items passed by their scan windows. Unlike hand scanners, they are affixed to a single location.
Handheld Bar Code Scanners
Hand held bar code scanners are used typically as inventory or point of sale (POS) devices. These scanners are passed over bar codes manually to read data. They often have a gun or wand design.
Slot Card Bar Code Scanners
Slot card bar code scanners are designed to read imprinted bar code cards that are passed through the aperture on the reader.
