Remarks

A barcode scanner can support a number of features in addition to scanning, such as focal length and scan duration. There can be as many as 100 features exposed through settings or properties. To simplify the scanner configuration, the concept of a profile is introduced, which wraps one or more settings defined by the manufacturer. An application developer can query for a list of supported profiles and set a profile.
