A bar code laser scanner works by shining a bright light (laser light) at the barcode and measuring the reflected beam. In order to scan the entire barcode very quickly, the light is bounced off a spinning disk to cover the entire barcode in one pass.
Barcode scanners begin by illuminating the code with red light. The sensor of the barcode scanner detects the reflected light from the illumination system and generates an analog signal with varying voltage that represent the intensity (or lack of intensity) of the reflection.
The sensors in a barcode scanner reads the bars and convert them to electrical pulses. Since each strip of bar is equivalent to a character, they can be displayed on a monitor. The whole process is really very quick. Milliseconds quick.
It is possible that enlarging the image will make them show. Possibly the scanner can be set to a higher resolution.
A flatbed scanner serves as a means to inspect shipments by flatbed trailer. It is most commonly used at major border crossings. The driver drives through the device slowly while a worker looks at a television screen that depicts what the scanner sees.
There are handheld bar code scanners, so a handheld bar code scanner is a bar code scanner, but a bar code scanner is not necessarily a handheld scanner. There are bar code scanners in store checkout stands that are fixed, and there may or may not be an associated handheld scanner there for the clerk to use to scan, say, a large bag of dog food that the customer doesn't want to hoist up onto the counter.
yes
Probably not, but black on white is easier for the bar code scanner to "read"

Most bar code scanners will give you the price of an item , but if you are shopping and find one that does not , the price will come up at the checkout when you plug the scanner in .

hi
translate a bar code into a computer data file.
Bar Code
Both terms apply to the same device. There isn't a difference.
A barcode reader (or barcode scanner) is an electronic device for reading printed barcodes.A bar code scanner reads bar codes.Bar codes contain data, typically numeric or alphanumeric data. While bar codes may all look the same to people, the data and even the "symbologies" are different. A bar code symbology is sort of like the language of the bar code, and there are many types: UPC, EAN, Code 39 (also called 3 of 9) and many others.
A bar code scanner scan a little label that has bar code on it.the information is then saved on the computer.It is also use in libraries alot
