How can I read data from a barcode scanner to a S7-1200?

JAM007 Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	I am currently attempting to read barcode data from a QuantumT (Model: MS3580) Barcode Scanner with my S7-1200, but don't know where to begin. How can I get the S7 to read the barcodes being scanned? The scanner uses USB, so I'm trying to get the data through my computer that I am running TIA on. So summed up, I am trying to read data through the USB from the scanner that will go through my computer, and then sent to the PLC through a CAT6 cable. Any help would be appreciated.
