Barcodes

Exercise 1

Read the text and choose the best answers for the questions below. (Przeczytaj tekst i wybierz najlepsze

odpowiedzi na pytania poniżej.)

Any time someone goes shopping at a supermarket, the price of each product is read from the barcode. You

can see barcodes on just about everything people buy. They are patterns of thick and thin stripes or bars,

which are read by an electronic scanner. The bars represent the 13digit number below. An 8digit barcode is

used if there is not enough space on the packaging.

A barcode carries four main pieces of information. The first two numbers stand for the country in which the

product was registered. It is not necessarily the country where the product was manufactured. The code for

Japan is 40 or 49, for Britain and Ireland it is 50. Some countries have 3digit codes. For example South Korea

is represented by 880 to commemorate the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Next comes the manufacturer's or supplier's

code. Each manufacturer has a unique fivedigit code. For example , TDK is 02030, Philips is 25160 and

Panasonic is 25232.

The second group of five numbers represents the product and the package size, but not the price. The

manufacturers can choose any number they want. Different producers can have the same number for their

goods. 32768 might be a bar of soap for one manufacturer and a packet of biscuits for another. Barcodes also

help shops with reordering. A shop's computer recognizes the whole shape of a bar code when it passes

across the scanner at a shop's checkout counter. It reads the bar code and the price of the product appears on

the till display. At the same time one item is deducted from the stock total.

Finally, the code finishes with a check digit that makes sure the barcode has been keyed in correctly. If not,

the item will either not be recognized or will be shown as a totally different product.
