How does one clear the buffer of their barcode reader in Python using the serial module?
-
It's a standard barcode reader (IT3800) and I'm using it on Windows and Linux. I have no problem reading the barcode but when the reader is not active, all the barcodes I scan go to buffer and when I initialize the barcode reader, everything is printed to stdout. I just want to empty this buffer.

Use flushInput() from python serial API
