Abstract
A method, system and corresponding apparatus are provided for scanning an identification code of an unknown orientation. In particular, the edge of a surface of an item on which the identification code is displayed may be located, and the item may then scanned in a predefined direction relative to the edge (e.g., substantially parallel or perpendicular to the edge) in order to locate the identification code and capture the information stored therein. The item may continue to be scanned in this direction until either the identification code is located or substantially the entire surface of the item has been scanned. Where substantially the entire surface of the item has been scanned and the identification code has not been located, the item may then be scanned in a direction substantially perpendicular to the predefined direction relative to the edge until the identification code is located.
