Good Morning, I'm currently trying to use a Getax UX10 to scan in barcode data to our system. The scanner works properly and will scan fine into client applications (CMD, Notepad++ etc) and display the correct non printable character representations (x1E, x1D, x004 for RS GS EOT). When we attempt to scan into ANY web browser, the non printable characters are no longer present in the outputted data, but when we copy and paste the data containing a non printable character from one of our client applications into the web browser, they're displayed. The web page we're scanning into has UTF-8 encoding set in the HTML header as well.

Example:
EXCEPTED OUTPUT: [)>^^1234^]1234^]1234^]1234^^^D
Received output into web browser: 1234123412341234
Received output into CMD or Notepad++: [)>^^1234^]1234^]1234^]1234^^^D
Received when copy and pasted into web browser from CMD or Notepad++: [)>^^1234^]1234^]1234^]1234^^^D
Received output when scanned into web browser from another windows 10 machine: [)>^^1234^]1234^]1234^]1234^^^D

(^^ ^D and ^] are representations of ASCII characters x1E x1D x004)

Web browsers:
Edge, Chrome, Firefox all up to date

I'm currently using the following system:
Getac UX10 Intel® Core™ i5-10210U Processor 1.6GHz
Intel® UHD Graphics
8GB DDR4
256GB PCIe NVMe SSD
1D/2D imager barcode reader

OS: Windows 10 1909

Any suggestions?

    I would recommend you to submit a feedback through the feedback option in the Microsoft Edge.
    Make sure include steps to reproduce this issue.
    Actual result and expected result.
    In case you want to know how to report it, take a look at:

    Any update on this. we have a http app to move inventory (pallets) from one inventory bin to another. What is scanned is not but a different container. Container ID 2936610 returned as 2936106.

    So this sounds similar to our use case.
