Hi,
We are looking for an easy way for the operators to answer certain batch prompts which require entering numbers/strings.
Does anyone have experience with connecting a barcode scanner to an operator station?
I do not see a reason why it would not work, if we are using a standard keyboard driver. In that case it should be acting exactly the same way as a keyboard: entering the text to a field where the cursor is blinking.

We have a USB barcode scanner that can do just this. The scanner 'types' the barcode it scans, just like the keyboard you'r using now. Optionally, it can send a return key when the code is fully scanned, so the text will be submitted.
I'll include our site if you want to check the specs for the barcode scanner :
Hope this answer helps you a bit further.
