Hello,

I am really new in this Coldfusion world and I was wondering if it's possible to use some hardware to input information into some modules and if it's easy to get the data.

Thank you
Where can I find an example?

The tools you mention are input tools, equivalent to a keyboard and mouse. ColdFusion is a server side tool, and thus has no knowlege of how the user feeds the data. The items you mention are irrelevent to each other.

Thanks,
So you can use different tools handling data between both ends.
Ok, I'll try some devices and figure out how can I make it.

Thanks

ColdFusion is completely irrelevant to this question, unless you are
thing of some unusual situation.

ColdFusion is a application server that runs on a network server. It
will handle data and requests sent to it by a web server. The web
server responds to request from clients usually using a browser, but
increasingly by other tools.

It is this end client tool that needs to understand an alternate input
device such as a bar code scanner.

At the other end, ColdFusion just does not care where the data comes from.
