  • Page 13: Principals Of Operation

    INTRODUCTION PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The LazerData Series 9000E bar code scanner/decoder uses a light beam generated by a laser diode light source to illuminate bar code labels. The laser beam is deflected in a fan shaped pattern across the label. The reflected light of the laser beam, representing the light and dark bars of the coded label, is then collected and focused by a lens onto a photodiode, processed, then converted to a digital signal.
