we are making a project that uses this type of scanner to scan QR codes. The MH-ET live scanner only scans/operates when the button beside it pressed. How can we make it constantly on, so that a staff can scan the QR/Barcode, without pressing the button one at a time?

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>

const char* ssid = "1234";
const char* password = "*********";

String apiEndpoint = "http://domain/api/read_qr_kds";

//const unsigned char Passive_buzzer = 2;

String raw_data = "";
bool new_data_available = false;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Make sure this matches the baud rate of your QR scanner

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");

//  pinMode(Passive_buzzer, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  while(WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED){
  // Read serial data and construct the raw_data string
    while (Serial.available()) {
      char input = Serial.read();
      
      // Check if the character is printable before adding it to raw_data
      if (isPrintable(input) || input == 'n') {
        raw_data += input;
      }
  
      // If we receive a newline character, set the flag
      if (input == 'n' && raw_data.length() > 1) {
        new_data_available = true;
      }
    }
  
    // If new data is available, process it
    if (new_data_available) {
      Serial.println(raw_data);
      
      // Encode the raw_data before sending
      String encodedData = urlencode(raw_data);
      sendQRDataToAPI(encodedData);
      
      raw_data = ""; // Reset raw_data after sending
      new_data_available = false; // Reset the flag
    }
  }
}

void sendQRDataToAPI(String data) {
    HTTPClient http;
    WiFiClient client;
    
    String link = apiEndpoint + "?raw_data=" + data;
    Serial.println(link);

    http.begin(client, link);
    int httpCode = http.GET();
  
    if (httpCode == HTTP_CODE_OK) {
      Serial.println(httpCode);
      String response = http.getString();
      Serial.println("API Response: " + response);

      // Parse the JSON response
      StaticJsonDocument<512> doc;
      DeserializationError error = deserializeJson(doc, response);
      
      if (!error) {
        int orderId = doc["qrData"]["OrderID"];
        Serial.print("OrderID: ");
        Serial.println(orderId);
        const char* status = doc["status"];
        Serial.print("Status: ");
        Serial.println(status);
      } else {
        Serial.print("JSON deserialization failed: ");
        Serial.println(error.c_str());
      }
    } else {
      Serial.print("HTTP Error code: ");
      Serial.println(httpCode);
    }
  
    http.end();
}

// Encoding the raw_data before sending it to the API
String urlencode(String str) {
    String encodedString = "";
    char c;
    char code0;
    char code1;
    
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
        c = str.charAt(i);
        if (c == ' ') {
            encodedString += '+';
        } else if (isalnum(c)) {
            encodedString += c;
        } else {
            code1 = (c & 0xf) + '0';
            if ((c & 0xf) > 9) {
                code1 = (c & 0xf) - 10 + 'A';
            }
            c = (c >> 4) & 0xf;
            code0 = c + '0';
            if (c > 9) {
                code0 = c - 10 + 'A';
            }
            encodedString += '%';
            encodedString += code0;
            encodedString += code1;
        }
        yield();
    }
    return encodedString;
}

What can I do to my device and waht can I add to my code so it can scan automatically?
