Linear Barcode Scanners

Linear industrial barcode scanners are the most common type of barcode reading equipment used today.  Linear scanners are practical for a wide variety of applications, but are used most frequently with UPC (Universal Product Code) bar codes at the POS (Point of Sale). In this application, UPCs are printed on the packaging and scanned at the checkout lane. Linear barcode scanners are also widely used to track items for shipping and receiving. Manufacturing, medical, and logistical applications may utilize linear barcode scanners and barcode readers, as well. General purpose scanners are helpful for libraries, light inventory and office use, while industrial scanners are practical on manufacturing lines, in warehouses and transportation terminals.  

Linear scanners utilize three main technologies: laser, linear imager, and CCD.
