Talk:Barcode reader

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This page still kinda stinks (needs improvement). Sorry I removed so much stuff, but it is better to say nothing at all than to spread egregiously wrong information. I don't have the time right now to fix it.

Level of accuracy on barcode scanners

I would like to know how often a normal barcode scanner makes a mistake. I would also like to know how much information (in bytes) can be stored in a barcode

Note also that bluetooth readers are available now also, and USB readers are no longer rare.

There should probably be a link to a barcode page for this information rather than here, because the error prevention/detection is much more a function of the symbology and the print quality than the reader itself.
