Solution

The correct option is A Wand

A hand-held device for optically reading bar codes on goods, labels & shelves is Wand

A handheld optical reader used to read typewritten fonts, printed fonts, OCR fonts and barcodes. The wand is waved over each line of characters or codes in a single pass.

A bar code reader (or bar code scanner) is an electronic device that can read and output printed barcodes to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the bar code's image data provided by the sensor and sending the barcode's content to the scanner's output port.
