Did you check out the documentation...

If you are
Port 101/201/301 etc is COM1, 102/202/302 is COM2, etc. No real need for GET
SERIAL PORT MAPPING on Windows.

Hi Tony and others,
Interesting that this subject should come up now, we're also looking at
adding barcode reading to our software. Our application needs to be
independent of where the user is in the GUI and we're looking at low
resource settings so we need to stay away from IP scanners if we can.

How are you handling programming the barcode reader to include information
about what the barcode belongs to? Or are you using it as an extended
keyboard input?

If you want the bar code scanning to be independent of where the user is on the
UI, then there is usually a serial port emulation available on USB.
GET SERIAL PORT MAPPING is useful for this on Mac. You can then run serial
comms in a separate process, which is handy if (for instance) the bar

Most barcode readers also let you add a character to the start and end of a
barcode. If you need more control than just entering the data into the current
field, you can trap for these characters to position the cursor into the field
that needs to accept the scan.
For example, the character
I recall doing this for a client a few years ago. As I recall, the barcode
reader is just another input device, so as long as it has a USB connection
you can just plug it in and read data into a field.
