Slot Explanation: SLOT READERS This type of reader is employed where the gap between the barcode and the reader is always constant. The item with the barcode on it (for example, a credit-card sized library card with a barcode printed on it) is pulled by hand through the slot. This is just like the familiar magnetic card swiping system for credit cards. The technology is usually similar to the light pen, but in effect, the pen is stationary and the barcode moved past it, instead of the other way round. Thus this system is, for example, suitable for capturing personal data. |
