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.
