It's part of the shop's computer system. It scans the bar-code - which is then interpreted by the computer and the items price is displayed.
A data matrix bar code is used on almost very product which is found in stores. The data matrix bar code is used to identify a product and find the price in a computer system.
A bar code consists of lines, or bars, if you will, that contain numbers and code for a product. It hold the information for the pricing, the inventory and the SKU numbers or catalog numbers of a certain product. It is also integrated in stores computer system.
The device that is used to enter sales data into the supermarket computer system is bar code scanner.
Input - the reader is reading the bar code and putting the information into the computer
A bar code reader is an input Device. Although they sometimes output a visible light, the purpose is to gather data from a printed code and input that data into your system (computer, Point of Sale, etc.)
In Windows, the Task Bar typically contains the system clock.
A bar code is used to identify a product or item. That's all. Other information associated with that bar code is held on the computer server that is linked to the bar code scanner. That other information could include what the item is, its price, brand, size/weight, and many other particulars. The scanner is able to identify the item, and once the bar code has been used for that, the computer server does the rest.

translate a bar code into a computer data file.
Most bar codes you will see on consumer products have the numbers below. A Bar code is a way of making information readable to a machine. It does this, similar to morse code, by encoding normal letters and numbers as patterns of thick and thin black lines. The purpose of the bar code is to tightly control the comparison between the thick and thin lines, and the space in between, so that the pattern has a high chance of being read correctly. Every letter in the alphabet has a corresponding bar code character, when the bar code reader scans the bar code its electronics translate the bar code into the letters, and send these letters in machine code to the computer. Some bar code readers use what is called a "wedge" - they are plugged in between the keyboard and the computer, and send signals into the keyboard port of the computer exactly as if the operator had typed in the numbers on the bar code.
