Symbologies
Set Lengths for MSI (Continued)Length Within Range - This option allows you 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. 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). If you make an error or
wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on page D-5.
MSI - Length Within Range
Any Length - Scanning this option allows you to decode MSI symbols containing any
number of characters within the scanner capability.
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.
