Sounds like you're using a "low volume" device in a high volume environment, and should be using a proper "bar code reader" versus a tablet (that can read bar codes).

The problem is not that it reads the barcode (it does), but the problem is that every time the button has to be pressed in order for the barcode lens to work.

The scanners I used always had a trigger; unless it was a "supermarket" scanner, but they still "prompt" with a delay; you can't scan wildly.

You need to investigate whether that integrated scanner can be controlled by an API (which I guess is be most probably the case)

Yes, I think this is what is required, but how is it done? ... I do not know

a.) Google for that (ok, I think it does not realy help)
b.) See on Panasonic homepage for technical information, driver API
c.) Contact Panasonic technical service (most probably the best option)

To control the scanner by your software the scanner need to be accessible by an API. Whether such an API is supported you need to ask the supplier of that tablet.

And for such an API you need to contact the tablet supplier directly.

Sorry that this is not realy a big help, but it is like it is.
