ABSTRACT:
In a preferred embodiment, an apparatus for reading identification strips on both planar card substrates and containers, the identification strips being disposed on the substrates and the containers parallel to, and spaced a given distance from, edges on the substrates and containers, comprising: a hand carryable, portable housing containing therein apparatus for reading an identification strip through an aperture defined through a first planar surface thereof; conversion apparatus to selectively place the apparatus in one of first and second configurations; in the first configuration, a the identification strip on a the container can be read by the apparatus by moving the aperture along the identification strip, with the first surface in contact with the surface of the container on which the identification strip is disposed, and with a portion of the housing engaging a the edge on the container so as to maintain the aperture the given distance from the edge; and in the second configuration, an identification strip on a substrate can be read by the apparatus by sliding the substrate through a narrow slot defined between the first surface and a second planar surface parallel to the first surface, with a portion of the housing engaging the edge of the substrate so as to maintain the aperture the given distance from the edge.
