Apparatus and method for reading light-dark or color-contrast codes on articles which are displaced over a light-transmitting region of a support of the kind wherein a scanning light beam is directed onto the articles and scattered light reflected from the articles and codes is supplied to a photoelectric transducer the output signal from which is supplied to electronic evaluating means, wherein the scanning light beam is directed upwardly through the light-transmitting region of the support and is displaced along two imaginary straight lines located in the light-transmitting region of the support, said lines, which preferably intersect, extending obliquely to the direction of displacement of the articles and substantially at right angles to one another. |
