- 7. Omni-Directional Barcode ScannersHowa scanner Reads BarcodeScanners are the devices that read bar codes. Of all the available bar code readers, the Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) scanner is the most common. A CCD scanner uses photoreceptors which are similar to those used by electronic photographic cameras: the bar code is illuminated by a row of LEDs and the CCD array sensors pick up the image of the code. If it falls on a light area, a zero (0) is read. If it falls on a dark area, it reads a one (1). Scanning the bar code generates a string of zeros and ones. This pattern of zeros and ones represents the characters encoded. The scanner software, or firmware, translates the strings into characters
