Pen barcode scanner, is an innovation of a scanner in its shape. Basically, a scanner is an electronic device which enables you to read printed barcodes. As so called, it is an electronic device resembling a pen. With a light source and a photodiode placed close to each other in its tip, you can read a bar code by moving the tip across the bars. The light source of pen barcode scanner reflects the light to the photodiode which is functioned to measure the intensity of the light and creates a waveform.
The widths of the bars and spaces in the bar code can be measured by using the waveform. The process includes absorption of light by the dark bars and reflection of light by the white spaces in the bar code. Furthermore, the voltage waveform created by the photodiode represents the bar and space pattern in the bar code. Pen barcode scanner then decodes the waveform the same way you decode dots and dashes in Morse code.
