Definition
Electronic device that scans a barcode by shining a laser beam on it. Barcode readers (unlike magnetic-stripe readers) are 'non-contact' automatic data capture devices, operate only at short distances (a few inches), and (unlike in radio frequency identification) do not provide 'out of line of sight' reading. Also called barcode scanner or just scanner.
