price scanner

Barcode reading device

A price scanner is a device that reads barcodes to retrieve product prices, typically found at checkout counters or as self-service kiosks in retail stores.

The self-service variety lets customers check prices before purchasing: I used the price scanner to see if the shoes were on sale.

Also called a barcode scanner when referring to the handheld checkout device.
