barcode reader
Stripe interpretation device
A barcode reader is a device that scans the pattern of lines on a barcode and converts it to digital information.
Most retail checkout systems use barcode readers to identify products and retrieve prices.
The technology appears in handheld scanners, smartphone apps, and fixed-mount units at self-checkout stations.
