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
. For example, to decode only MSI
symbols with 14 characters, scan
MSI - One Discrete Length
, then scan
1
followed by
4
. To correct an
error or to change the selection, scan

the selection, scan
Cancel
•
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.
