I have used a barcode scanner with cf before, its actually not cf related though. The barcode scanner is a peripheral just like a mouse is to the system, you just make a form with a text input, make sure it has focus and then scan the barcode. It will input the string into the text field. make sure you note that some scanners also issue a submit request somehow after its input, so just be aware of that. After that, its just up to you with what you do with it after the input.
