Hello Amol,

There is a very good blog written on this by Jitendra. You can refer that to get an idea about barcode scanner using JS :

Hi Nitin,

I've seen this blog, but this blog is for saleforce1 i.e on mobile, vf page will display and nobile will scan the barcode image.

I've to use barcode machine not a mobile. so how to configure barcode machine with vf page so it can read.

Most barcode scanners can be simply used "as-is" on web apps (Visualforce/Lightning) without any special code. The scanner simply emulates keyboard input. You may need to use a little Javascript to "focus" on an input field to receive the value from the scanner. Also you can use JavaScript to submit the value automatically as they are entered if you use a consitent barcode format or have terminators on your barcode (using an asterisk as start/end characters is common).

Might be simple to use one of the scanner mobile apps that can directly create/update data in Salesforce. Checkout "Barcode To Cloud" mobile app available in iOS and Android. Demo video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuQdLZ_VOPg
