Pen / Wand Barcode Scanners

Pen 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 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.
