Answer Wiki:
The scanner should come with some documentation, which should help you get started.

For most scanners you just need to set focus to a text field, and the scanned text will be automatically copied into that text field without any intervention from the application.

Yes, that’s what I said.

That’s the way most scanners work nowadays.
