    Hello @Mohandar,

     

    I do not know your specific scanner model, but the barcode scanners we have used so far have treated the scanned barcode as input from a keyboard.

    So say you have focused a text input control in a Canvas App and use the scanner, the EAN (or whatever you scan) gets passed to the text input control.
