Linear Imagers - Linear Barcode Scanners

Unlike laser barcode scanners, linear imagers have no moving parts to misalign or break. As a result, linear imagers are far more durable and robust than laser barcode scanners, even though they generally cost the same or even less than similarly featured laser barcode scanners. Linear imagers, therefore, are increasingly recommended over laser scanners for industrial or warehouse applications - or anywhere where ruggedness and durablity is an important consideration. In addition, laser scanners use a moving beam that captures dirt as bars and voids as spaces. In some scanners, this slows the processing of the bar code significantly as advanced algorithms are used to "filter" the correct message from the code. In other scanners, large voids can stop a laser altogether. Slowed or non-existent processing means increased frustration for operators who are often measured on throughput.
