Example Custom Profile
The <section> tag identifies the profile name and all <cmd> tags identify settings, when the settings are applied
(cmd="APPLY") and if the settings cause a reset to defaults before being applied (cmd="TYPE" Full) or are incremental
to the existing settings (cmd="TYPE" incremental). Also, the target device is identified (cmd="DEVICE' USB or
Internal). The example profile below is named "Ars Code 128" which enables Code 128, sets the minimum length to 0
and maximum length to 80. It also resets all other settings so that only Code 128 is enabled:
<Section
flags="000" name="Ars Code 128" id="ArsCode128">
<Key
cmd="DEVICE" desc="Specifies the scanner type" list="Internal,USB" name="Device Type">USB</Key>
<Key
cmd="TYPE" list="Incremental,Full" name="ProfileType">full</Key>
<Key
cmd="APPLY" list="true,false" min="" name="ApplyProfileOnLoad">false</Key>
<Key
cmd="128ENA" name="Code128 Enable Symbology" id="Enable" gr="flag">1</Key>
<Key
cmd="128MIN" name="Code128 Minimum Character Length" id="MinLength" min="0" max="80">0</Key>
<Key
cmd="128MAX" name="Code128 Maximum Character Length" id="MaxLength" min="0" max="80">80</Key>
