Hi Brad,

Seems that you just need the barcode font for printing the codes. One of them is in Downloads section, file#9121. The barcode scanner should come with the software (driver, etc). Typically, the input from scanner is treated just as input from the keyboard, so the scanned number will just appear in your textbox.
