When you are purchasing a barcode reader it is best to select one that will suit the specific needs of your business. Handheld readers while practical and flexible are not always the best choice for retailers where a stationary reader would offer the benefits of stability and durability. There are many different types of handheld barcode scanners and before making a decision, taking time to consult a specialist distributor like Syntechnology will help ensure you make the right choice for your business. A common type of barcode is the 1D code also known as the linear code. The barcode used for international retail is the U.P.C barcode. There are many different types of 1D barcode scanner on the market. The most common one is the laser scanner. The 1D barcode scanner uses a laser beam in conjunction with a rotating prism or a reciprocating mirror to read the code. The laser beam moves back and forth along the barcode and the light is reflected back into its circuitry. Other types of barcode readers include CCD readers, pen like readers and camera based readers. Barcode readers and scanners help to streamline sales, production and increase the efficiency and accuracy of your staff. The scanning of barcodes also assists with improving the accuracy of inventory management as it reduces the amount of manual human intervention. Making use of the latest barcode scanning technology increases the speeds at which information is collected and distributed. Choosing the right scanner is all important if you are looking for long term improvements in productivity and efficiency.

These codes are often called matrix codes and are often square in shape. Some 2D codes will have the data stored in concentric square rings. This method of structuring data allows the code to be read from any angle making them a flexible format for data storage that requires scanning and capture. One of the most recognisable 2D barcodes being used today is the QR code. QR codes are used by companies to share information and by marketers to drive traffic toward a URL or a special offer housed on a social media site such as YouTube.com.
