Pen-type / Wand Barcode Scanners

Pen-type / Wand Barcode Scanners
Pen-type barcode scanners consist of a light source and photodiode that are placed next to each other in the tip of a pen or wand. The photodiode measures the intensity of the light reflected back from the light source as the tip crosses each bar and space in the printed code. Pen-type barcode scanners were some of the earliest barcode scanners and require some practice to achieve the proper degree of tilt and correct motion speed for a successful read. Wand scanners are not very common in the marketplace today.
