As luggage is transported via conveyor, it passes beneath a laser scanner, which reads the IATA label. An automatic tag reader (ATR) identifies the bag and performs full tracking throughout the screening process. If the ATR fails to identify a bag, the item is sent via conveyor and deviator to a manual encoding station. Operators manually scan the barcode before reloading the item onto the conveyor for further processing.
