usually using a diode laser, a rotating mirror and a photo sensor, which
turns photons into electrons, where the circuitry then interprets the
variations of electron flow into digital signals, which is then
processed by a processor, running software that can interpret the
encoding schemes of many different types of barcodes. It then sends
signals (either by RS-232 or USB protocol) to the computer, a device
driver reads the incoming signal, and interprets the signals as a series
of characters, output to the desired application.
