Abstract

A system, method and computer program product for processing bar codes at point-of-sale (POS) terminals, including a bar code reader or scanner for determining a bar code of an item; a pseudo bar code generator coupled to the bar code reader or scanner and that generates a pseudo bar code based on a received trigger signal; and a POS terminal coupled to the pseudo bar code generator. If the trigger signal is not received, the pseudo bar code generator sends to the POS terminal a bar code determined by the bar code reader or scanner. If the trigger signal is received, the pseudo bar code generator, based on the trigger signal, generates and sends a pseudo bar code the POS terminal. The POS terminal generates a sales slip based on bar codes from the bar code reader or scanner, and pseudo bar codes from the pseudo bar code generator.
