    6. Barcode Engine/Imager Command Reference Commands are sent with a prefix of [0x16][0x4D][0x0D] causing the command sequence to take the form [0x16][0x4D][0x0D]<Menu Command>. The Menu Commands are six characters long with a parameter (if required). The command is concluded by a dot ‘.’ or an exclamation mark ‘!’. The dot stores the setting permanently and the exclamation mark keeps it temporarily until power is removed from the device.
