Codes
Purpose
Barcodes and machine codes represented by
numbers and parallel lines. When scanned by a laser,
Barcode scanners record and translate barcodes
from the image you recognize into alphanumeric
digits.
How they Work
More specifically, the sensor in
the barcode scanner detects the
reflected light from the
illumination system (the red light)
and generates an analog signal
that is sent to the decoder. The
decoder interprets that signal,
validates the barcode using the
check digit, and converts it into
text.

QR codes
Purpose
QR stands for "Quick Response." While they may
look simple, QR codes are capable of storing lots of
data. But no matter how much they contain, when
scanned, the QR code should allow the user to
access information instantly – hence why it's called
a Quick Response code.
All QR codes have a standard structure that makes information readable. Let’s break it down:
● Quiet Zone: The empty white border around the outside of a QR code.
● Position pattern: The three black squares in the bottom-left, top-left, and top-right corners.
● Alignment pattern: A small square near the bottom-right corner, which ensures the QR code
can be read, even if it’s skewed or at an angle.
● Timing pattern: An L-shaped line that helps to identify individual squares within the whole
code, making it possible for a damaged QR code to be read.
● Version information: Identifies which version of the QR code is being read.
● Data cells: The rest of the QR code communicates the actual information — the URL, phone
number, or other data.
