From what I understand about barcode scanners is that usually the come with drivers and SDK (software developer kits) that let you interact with them.

Try researching the drivers for your scanner first and see if there is any documentation on how to use them. If you can't find anything like this then you should contact the company that creates the scanner and ask them how to connect to and use their scanner.

Please note that sometimes companies require you to purchase their software developers kits (APIs)...
