Lock User KeyBoard entry

Hi All,

What is the best approach to disable Keyboard entry and allow only barcode scanned entry mode only.

I am out of ideas after trying to use a hidden entry field.

Please help out

Hello
I use time limit to finish barcode scan. There is no way user can type 11 numbers in 200ms.
