Most barcode scanners emulate keyboards, and you can't tell if any specific character was entered by a scanner or by a "real" keyboard - Windows doesn't have any mechanism for providing the source as it doesn't tag that kind of info anywhere. You can't tell a scanner to "move to the next line" - all you can do is tell it to provide specific lead in / trail out sequences which your software can interpret as either a "new line" or "end of barcode" marker.
Your software then looks for that and takes the appropriate action.
