Symbol is the best known maker of these devices. If you are looking at implementing somethink like this you will need to do a fair amount of research.
There are types that plug into a USB port and some that go inline with a keyboard (the USB types are becoming the standard). How they operate can vary quite a bit. The simplest types are simply recognized as a “keyboard” and will input the code as characters into wherever the “focus” is on a particular screen.
If you are implementing a POS (point of sale) setup than you should speak to a specialist on the topic since there may be some requirements for your hardware/software setup that would affect what you buy.
