Set Lengths for MSI
L1 = Parameter # 30
SSI # 1Eh
L2 = Parameter # 31
SSI # 1Fh
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 is Length Within Range: 4 to 55.
Scan one of the following barcodes to select a length option:
• One Discrete Length - Decode only MSI symbols containing a selected length. Select the length using the
barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode only MSI symbols with 14 characters, scan MSI -
One Discrete Length, and then scan 1, 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on
page 426.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only MSI symbols containing either of two lengths. Select lengths
using the barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode only MSI symbols containing either 2
or 14 characters, scan MSI - Two Discrete Lengths, and then scan 0, 2, 1, 4. To correct an error or
change the selection, scan Cancel on page 426.
• Length Within Range - Decode MSI symbols with a specific length range. Select lengths using the
barcodes in Numeric Barcodes. For example, to decode MSI symbols containing between 4 and 12
characters, scan MSI - Length Within Range, and then scan 0, 4, 1, 2. To correct an error or change
the selection, scan Cancel on page 426.
• Any Length - Decode MSI symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner’s capability.
NOTE: When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
