Symbologies 12 - 41
Set Lengths for MSI (continued)
Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the scanner to decode only those MSI symbols containing either
of two selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 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 - This option allows the scanner to decode an MSI symbol with a specific length
range. The length range is selected from numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 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 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero).
In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
MSI - Length Within Range
Any Length - This option allows the scanner to decode MSI symbols containing any number of characters within
the scanner 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 be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is actually encoded in the bar code. To
prevent this from happening, it is recommended that specific lengths (MSI - One Discrete Length - Two
Discrete Lengths) be selected for MSI applications.
