Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A data collection device is designed to capture information directly from the point of origin. This includes devices such as barcode scanners, RFID readers, or sensors that collect data from physical processes. Transmission, scanning, and recognition devices all require the source data to be in a different location than the device itself, making them unsuitable for directly collecting data at the point of origin.
