Default Capturing Data from a Com Port or Printer Port

If you are using a bar code reader, many of these come with a utility which
will stuff the input into the keyboard buffer - then all you have to do is
select the cell so it has the focus for keystrokes, then read the code. The
utility adds in a CR at the end of the stream
