What is the difference between 1D barcode and 2D barcode scanners?

What is the difference between 1D barcode scanner and 2D barcode scanner? They almost look the same, but in fact 2D barcode scanner as an upgraded version of 1D barcode scanner, its function is improved a lot, Rakind tells you that there are also differences between 1D barcode scanner and 2D barcode scanner.

The principle of both is different. 1D is identified by the reflection of light on the color. Two-dimensional through the 2d laser head for recognition, is actually the image resolution is fixed in the hardware.
We all know that the one-dimensional barcode are composed of longitudinal black and white stripes, and its stripes will vary in size, and there are English letters or numbers under the stripes. It can hold a limited number of numbers and words. By scanning the 1D barcode, the basic information of the goods can be recognized, such as: the name of the goods, the price and other simple information, but if you want to know more information, you need to use the computer database to cooperate.

And 2D barcode not only has recognition function, but also can accommodate Chinese and other information. It can show more detailed details about the goods, if we buy one, through the 2D scanner can not only know the name model and price of the clothes, but also be able to inquire about its production materials. Its material percentage, size and washing precautions, and even which people and how tall it is suitable for people to wear will be displayed.

In addition, two-dimensional barcode scanner can also scan one-dimensional barcodes, so in contrast, or two-dimensional barcode scanner function is better. For more information, please consult Rakinda: contact@rakinda.com
