What is a barcode scanner?

Barcode scanners are portable data terminals for processing barcodes. They follow the principle of barcode decoding. Using an LED or a light beam, the barcode scanner reads the information behind a barcode and decodes them for its user. Apart from being used by private consumers, barcode scanners are particularly common in warehouse logistics. Compared to conventional paper lists, hand-held scanners like the VOXTER increase the process quality significantly.
