MSI
When enabled, MSI symbols will be scanned, decoded and transmitted.
Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below.
Set Length(s) for MSI
Default: Length Within Range
L1 Default: 04
L2 Default: 55
Lengths for MSI may be set for:
• any length,
• one or two discrete lengths,
• or lengths within a specific range.
The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains.
See the table titled ASCII Character Equivalents (page 6-1).
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 encoded in the bar code. To prevent this, select specific
lengths (using MSI One Discrete Length and MSI Two Discrete Lengths) for MSI applications.
Note: One Discrete Length (Parameter L1)
This option decodes only those codes containing a selected length. For example, when you want to scan only MSI
symbols containing 14 characters, scan the “MSI One Discrete Length” bar code and then “1” and “4” bar codes using
the Imager Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-81).
To begin setting one discrete length, scan this MSI One Discrete Length bar code:
Next, scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value. Single digit numbers must have a leading
zero. To correct an error or to change a selection, scan Cancel on the “Imager Keypad Number Symbols” page.
