Thanks Stefan, you are right that if I get hexdump then the scanner is
working properly. This test was failing before because I was trying to
get barcodes over Putty terminal emulation which is basically a SSH
session and will not display the keyboard inputs from the host
machine. When I checked on the host machine, it’s working properly.

Thanks a tonne !!!
