Barcode Technology
A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data, which shows data about the object to which it attaches. Originally, barcodes represented data by varying the widths and spacings of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or 1 dimensional (1D). Later they evolved into rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in 2 dimensions (2D). Although 2D systems use a variety of symbols, they are generally referred to as bar codes as well. Barcodes originally were scanned by special–optical scanners called barcode readers, scanners and interpretive software are available on devices including desktop printers and smartphones.

The mobile computers are basically computers having their own display screen, RAM, Flash/ROM, battery and optional bar code scanners. Mobile computers are fully working computer having their own processors and are fully programmable to business requirements. They also have following characteristics:
