There are numerous ways to use a barcode reader in 2005.

However, the code varies dramatically based on how it is connected to your PC. What type of connector does it have?

it have usb connector

It either works like a USB keyboard, and types the letters that it scans, or it works as a serial port in which case you must connect to the com port it installs, and read the data there

Open Notepad
Plug in the scanner
Scan a barcode
Look at notepad

If notepad has nothing in it, your scanner is probably serial. I'd look for a switch to make it work like keyboard, or i'd send it back and buy a keyboard one - theyre much easier to work with
