Set Lengths for MSI
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Lengths for MSI may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a
specific range.
One Discrete Length - This option allows the scanner to decode only those MSI symbols containing a selected
length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in
Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes . For example, to
decode only MSI symbols with 14 characters, scan MSI - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. In case
of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on
page D-3 .
MSI - One Discrete Length
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 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 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 (insert a leading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change the selection,
scan Cancel on
page D-3 .
