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. The default option is Length Within Range, 4 to 55.
•
One Discrete Length - Decode only MSI symbols containing a selected length. Select the length using 
the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only MSI symbols with 14

using the bar codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only MSI symbols

correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page G-2.
•
Length Within Range - Decode MSI symbols with a specific length range. Select lengths using bar 
codes in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode MSI symbols containing between 
4 and 12 characters, first scan MSI - Length Within Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2. To correct an
