linear barcodes

Linear barcodes are one-dimensional patterns of thick and thin lines that encode information, typically numbers or letters. These patterns are scanned by laser or cameras, which interpret the spacing and widths of the lines to retrieve the data. Common examples include the UPC codes on retail products. They are simple, reliable, and cost-effective for quick data capture. Linear barcodes are widely used for inventory management, checkout systems, and tracking items, offering an efficient way to automate data entry without manual input.
