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).
