Custom Profile Example
The following example contains two profiles, one for Wedge Mode and
one for POS Mode.
• The .exm file contains the required ConfigDoc element named “Dat
a
Collec
tion Profiles.” This element is not optional and must alway be
included.
• The Section tags <section> identify the profile names. T
he POS
pr
ofile name may be customized to anything you want but wedge
mode profile must be named “HONWedge”. For the example below,
“C39 Internal Scanner” is used for the POS Mode profile an
d
“
HONWedge” for the Wedge Mode profile.
• The command tags <cmd> identify the profile settings.
• The Device command <cmd=“Device”> is set to Internal to indicate
the internal scanner and not an external scanner (e.g., ring scanner)
.
Th
e second profile, named “HONWedge,” must contain a De
vice
co
mmand set to Internal but a POS profile can be set to either
Internal or USB.
• The Type command (cmd=“TYPE”), is set to Full, which instru
cts the
scann
ing system to first restore defaults before applying th
e
co
mmands in the profile.
• The Apply (cmd=“APPLY”) command instructs th
e scanning system
to
automatically apply the profile when a POS application claims the
scanner. The Apply command is not applicable to Wedge Mode. In
Wedge Mode the “HONWedge” profile is automatically app
lied
whe
never the scanning system switches to Wedge Mode.
• The “HONWedge” profile enables EAN-13 and issues a command to
include the check digit.
• The “HONWedge” profile shows the syntax for issuing wedge
commands, including how to enter binary data as postambles or
preambles.
