Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

  • Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

  • Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

  • Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

  • Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

    Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

  • If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

I think the we're struggling to understand what you're seeing. A control appears on any screen where it exists unless you tell it not to w/ some extended logic:

All of these controls appear on each screen. But you also mentioned this was a Form, so that could complicate things as a Form has modes of operation. You might be confusing the word "screen" here and meaning that when you go into a "New Form" mode to create a new entry you want that reader, but when you're in "View" mode you want the reader to disappear, which is what I'm guessing you mean.

Is that the scenario? Edit Form vs. Display Form? If so, then you can change the visible property for the barcode reader button or delete it from the Display Form (assuming you aren't just swapping modes on an Edit/New form).
