A stack barcode reader may include an imaging section configured to image the stack barcode in which character information is expressed with a bar and a space; an image memory configured to store image data of the stack barcode; a data processing section including a decoding unit and configured to decode the barcode of the stack barcode into the character information. The decoding unit may include a low-level decoding unit, a high-level decoding unit, and a decoded result selection unit for selecting a decoded result. The high-level decoding unit may include an error-correction unit. The decoded result selection unit may include a counter unit configured to count the number of error corrections and a selection unit configured to select a decoded result having the less number of corrections.
