Symbologies 12 - 41
Set Lengths for MSI (continued)
Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only MSI symbols containing either of two selected
lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode
only those MSI symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select MSI - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0,
2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
MSI - Two Discrete Lengths
Length Within Range - Select this option to decode an MSI symbol within a specific length range. Select
lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode MSI symbols
containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan MSI - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (enter a
leading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
MSI - Length Within Range
Any Length - Select this option to decode MSI symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner’s
capability.
MSI - Any Length
NOTE Due to the construction of the MSI symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the
code to transmit as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To prevent this,
Motorola recommends selecting specific lengths (MSI - One Discrete Length, Two Discrete Lengths) for
MSI applications.
