Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022152755A1] The invention relates to a mobile scanning and processing device (20) for the acquisition of matrix codes (14) formed as relief on flexographic printing plates (10) wherein the device comprises a light source (41) for emitting light to the matrix code (14) to be captured, a camera (35) to receive the light reflected by the matrix code (14), and a microprocessor (32) for decoding the matrix code (14) captured by the camera (35). In order to provide a possibility to capture matrix codes (14) on transparent flexographic printing plates, the light emitted by the light source (41) is aligned in parallel in such a way that it causes a reading contrast when it hits the levels of the relief of the matrix code (14).
