yeah ,Barcode scanner is an electronic device for reading printed
barcodes. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens
and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones.
Nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the
barcode's image data provided by the sensor and sending the barcode's
content to the scanner's output port
