Is there some type of setting for this.
Maybe a "tab" key, or "enter" key to be pressed at the end of the scan?

In most cases, some type of "end" character is available. You could then add some JavaScript to the text box, and when that termination character is seen, then you could have the javascript "click" a button for you. That way, you get a simple and easy code behind stub to use. However, this idea only is good if you can (or already have) a termination character.

I suppose you could also consider checking the length of the text box so far, but this is not all that great for a scan in which some characters might have been missed.

the OnTextChanged event is a server event. AutoPostBack javascript does a form submit when the textbox loses focus. you will need to implement your own javascript autopostback based on the keypress event.

hint: if you do not know the number of characters from the reader, then just use a watchdog timer. say 100ms since last char typed or field length changed.

Hi @HiteshkumarPatel-3921 ,
Why you don't use keypress event? I suggest you could write a hidden button and then you could press "Enter" key to trigger the event. Just like this:
In this, I use the javascript.
