That is usually handled quite well by a piece of hardware called a
keyboard wedge.
The wedge is connected to the CPU's keyboard port.
The keyboard and the reader are both connected to the wedge.
Whenever a card is read, the data is sent through the wedge, looking
like keystrokes.
The units I have seen can be programmed to supply (or not) a C/R after
each read, or other terminating values.
