Set Lengths for MSI

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Set lengths for MSI to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
•
One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only MSI symbols containing a selected length. Select
the length using the numeric bar codes in
symbols with 14 characters, scan MSI - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an

•
Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a MSI symbol with a specific length range. Select
lengths using numeric bar codes in
symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan MSI - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4,
1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change
the selection, scan Cancel on
•
Any Length - Scan this option to decode MSI symbols containing any number of characters within the
scanner capability.
NOTE Due to the construction of the MSI symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the
code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To prevent
this, select specific lengths (MSI - One Discrete Length - Two Discrete Lengths) for MSI applications.
