Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the necessity for orientating a container before reading or detecting a data carrier by providing a data-supporting part that is seen from nearly all directions at the detector of data carriers. SOLUTION: A data carrier has a data-supporting part that can be seen from nearly all directions at a detector. More specifically, a container supports a label 133A for easily identifying a container and indicating information such as calibration data and control data. The label 133A has a data carrier 135A such as a high-density data carrier, which contains information for facilitating the execution of decision. This sort of data carrier 135A can take various kinds of forms such as a bar code and a memory chip. The data-supporting part of the data carrier 135A can eliminate the need for specific orientation with a detector since it is seen in nearly all directions for the detector such as a bar code reader.
