barcode scanners
Stripe-reading checkout devices
Barcode scanners are devices that read the pattern of lines and spaces in a barcode and convert it to digital data.
They use light—typically laser or LED—to detect the contrast between bars, translating it into product information, inventory numbers, or other encoded data.
Found at checkout counters, warehouses, and shipping facilities: The cashier waved the item past the barcode scanner.
