Read Barcodes

We can read barcodes using the BarcodeReader class. The easiest method to use is the BarcodeReader.Read method, as shown above.

Do note all of the various options set in BarcodeReaderOptions that allow you to customise your reading to be faster, more intensive, stop scanning after reaching one barcode to save time, specify specific types of barcode to search for, and utilize multithreading, among other customization options.
