A barcode scanner, also known as a point-of-sale (POS) scanner or a price scanner, is a device that captures and reads data from barcodes. A light source, a lens, and a light sensor that converts optical impulses into electrical ones make up the scanner. A barcode scanner measures the quantity of light reflected after sending a beam of light across the barcode. The light is reflected less by the black bars on the barcode than by the white spaces between them. The light energy is eventually transformed into electrical energy by the scanner, which is ultimately transformed into data by the decoder and transferred to a computer.
