Honeywell 26079, User Manual

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:
