摘要

The packaging system uses an optical bar code reader (5). The reader is in the shape of a pistol. In a first mode the reader is positioned where it can scan the bar code on the packaging or collection bin. In the second mode the reader is clipped (56) to the side of the packaging or collection bin, where it can read (53) the bar codes on the items as they are passed over it into the collector. A screen (52) displays the data read to the operator.
