Abstract
A scanner which can read machine-readable code on an object. A scanner has a scanning device, a data device and a reconstruction device. The scanning device can repetively scan the code and provide a scan signal repetively corresponding to at least fragments of the code. The data device is coupled to the scanning device and responds to its scan signal for repetively storing it. The reconstruction device is coupled to the data device for reconstructing the code from at least two of the fragments of the code.
