MSI Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for MSI Length Control. 
Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the 
second fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. Length includes
 the bar code’s 
check, data, and full-ASCII shift characte
rs. The length does not include 
start/stop characters.
The length can be set from 1 to 50 char
acters. A setting of 0 specifies to 
ignore this length (only one fixed length).
Table 23 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 290 for detailed 
instructions on setting this feature.
