Rating: - CMOS LINEAR IMAGING VERSUS LASER SCANNING
The socket 3E utilizes CMOS linear imaging. It is NOT a laser scanner. You can view a detailed analysis of difference between the two technologies by visiting the manufacturers web site or by doing a search for "cmos linear imaging".

2.- Provide adequate ambient lighting -->(YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PERFECT LITH TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE BARCODE)
