barcode scan
Register laser reading
A barcode scan is the act of reading a barcode with a scanner or camera, converting the pattern of lines or squares into data.
The term covers both the action and the result: The barcode scan revealed the item was out of stock.
At self-checkout, you perform barcode scans yourself; in warehouses, workers scan inventory continuously to track shipments.
