Hi,
I have 2 questions related to Barcode Reader feature in power apps.
Thank you
However, you can create a custom solution using Power Apps components or external APIs to achieve automatic scanning of multiple barcodes. This would involve integrating with a barcode scanning API or leveraging custom coding to handle the scanning and processing of multiple barcodes.
However, if your barcode scanner acts as a keyboard wedge and emulates keyboard input, you can use Power Apps on a Windows computer to capture the barcode data. When the barcode scanner scans a barcode, the scanned value will be treated as keyboard input and entered into a text input control or other relevant control in your Power Apps app.
Please note that the specific behavior and compatibility of your barcode scanner with the Windows operating system will determine if it can emulate keyboard input successfully. It's advisable to consult the documentation or support resources for your barcode scanner to determine if it supports keyboard emulation on a Windows computer.
In summary, while Power Apps has limitations in terms of scanning multiple barcodes automatically and scanning barcodes directly from a Windows computer using a peripheral device, you can explore custom development options or leverage barcode scanning APIs to achieve these functionalities in your Power Apps canvas app.
@wuzz8 - the scan multiple setting allows you to scan and collect multiple barcodes without returning back to the main screen each time.
But I think what you mean is to be able to continuously scan multiple barcodes without having to select the scan/tick button each time? I do not think this is possible out of the box, but there could be workarounds.

Hi @wuzz8 -
1. Yes by selecting Scan Multiple in the Scanning Mode property.
2. Yes using a USB barcode reader. @Shanescows has a tutorial on this here:
