Barcode Scanner implementation on Java
Good sirs, I have a question. The school Java project I am currently working on requires me to have a USB Barcode Scanner as an external input to be connected to my laptop. I haven't actually bought the USB Scanner since it's quite expensive for a student. So I have to gather evidence that this Scanner would work with my program. Would the Scanner be able to read from a barcode (presumably printed off online) and store it into a variable? If so, is it true that the action event for the press of the scanner would be read exactly like a keyboard keypress? If so, what would the line of code look
