There are many electronic devices available in the market that every consumer can buy and use in their daily personal activities. These devices are often in the form of gadgets, machines, and applications. Some electronic devices are particularly helpful in business operations and industry. This is where barcode scanners belong to. This type of scanner is designed to crack barcode information through its decoding circuitry, analyze the code, then sends them as readable data in another device (such as computers or mobile phones). There are also many types and forms of scanners that people can choose from and their capabilities depend on their read range. These scanners are usually connected to a system through physical connection which includes USB, ports, and CCD. Some can connect using wireless technology such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and infrared.
However, some businesses do not require the use of barcode scanners in their daily operation. These are companies that usually have office tasks and administrative works. They do not encounter barcodes in their daily tasks but employees in these companies still require scanners to be able to work properly. Instead, they use document readers. Document readers can be a physical or a virtual device. Examples of the physical ones are the flat-bed scanner, hands free scanner, and fax machines. These are typically used to convert information from printed materials to electronic digital data files. The other type is the virtual ones. They are usually applications that can be downloaded from certain web sources and can be installed directly in the computer or mobile phones.
