What is BARCODE ?

 It is an automatic identification technology

 Bar code is a predefined format of dark bars and
white spaces
 Structured to contain a specific piece of information
 It allows real-time data to be collected accurately and
rapidly
 Combination of barcode technology with computer
and application software improves performance,
productivity and profitability

How BARCODE work ?
BAR CODE SCANNERS
 A device used to extract information optically from a
Bar Code
 Bar Code symbol consists of series of vertical dark
bars separated by light spaces
 When illuminated reflected light is detected by electro
optical sensor
 The intensity of reflected light from the dark bars is
less than that of spaces
SCANNERS…

 Reflected light is converted into electrical voltage

signals

 Analog voltages are digitized into raw data

 The decoder converts this data into the character

data representation of the symbol’s code
