Abstract
Code reading device for receptacles with at least one code marking at a transparent or translucent circumferential wall section, said device comprising an illumination for applying light on said wall section and an image capturer for capturing image information of said code markings.
In a device, in order to avoid complicated handling or alignment of said receptacles before or during reading of said code markings, said illumination is adapted to provide light on at least three different light paths extending through said wall section and being relatively spaced such that the associated light incidence positions are disposed circumjacent to said wall section.
In a method, light is provided on at least three different light paths being relatively spaced such that the associated light incidence positions are disposed circumjacent to said wall section.
