The invention discloses a scanning device and a scanning method for a bar code 
invoice, which are used for scanning a bar code of the bar code 
invoice. The scanning device comprises a scanning module, a 
signal shaping module and a decode outputting module, wherein the scanning module is used for optically scanning a bar code sign of the bar code 
invoice and converting an optical 
signal of a bar code and bar blank pattern into an 
electric signal; the 
signal shaping module is used for amplifying the 
electric signal generated by the scanning module through a circuit to generate an 
analog signal and filtering and shaping the 
analog signal to form a 
square wave signal corresponding to the 
analog signal; the decode outputting module is used for interpreting the 
square wave signal formed by the signal shaping module into a 
digital signal which can be directly accepted by a computer. According to the scanning device and the scanning method disclosed by the invention, the scanning for bar codes in notes such as various bar code invoices, air tickets, 
train tickets and 
bus tickets is realized, the authenticity of the invoices can be detected, financial reimbursement, accounting and auditing of users are facilitated, financial management of the users is enabled to become efficient and accurate and the consumption of labor force and financial resources is reduced.
