    It’s not so much about the problem of the reader itself… more so what the reader will be reading…

    if a barcode becomes scratched or crumpled the reader may not be able to read it.

    There are none – when used for the intended purpose. Would you rather scan a barcode with 99.9% accuracy or enter the data by hand with about 60% accuracy and 100 times slower?

    I’ve even seen some barcode scanners being used to drive nails. Although that’s not the intended purpose it’s been done.

    So you have to be a little more clear in what you’re really after.
