Try this code:

with scannerObject
.commport = lPortnum && 1 or 2
.settings = "9600,e,8,1"
.portopen = .t.
.inputlen = 250
ENDWITH

&& when reading from scanner ( I'm using the timer object for this)
with scannerObject
IF .INBUFFERCOUNT > 0
lbarcode = ALLTRIM(.INPUT)
ENDIF
endwith

Hope this will help
