Two Discrete Lengths (Parameter L2)
This option decodes only those codes containing two selected lengths. For example, when you want to scan only MSI
symbols containing 2 or 14 characters, scan the “MSI Two Discrete Lengths” bar code and then “0”, “2”, “1” and “4” bar
codes using the Imager Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-81).
To begin setting two discrete lengths, scan this MSI Two Discrete Lengths bar code:
Next, scan four 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.
Length Within Range
This option decodes a code type within a specified minimum and maximum range. For example, when you want to
scan only MSI symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, scan the “MSI Length Within Range” bar code and
then “0”, “4”, “1” and “2” bar codes using the Imager Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-81).
To begin setting lengths within a range, scan this MSI Length Within Range bar code:
Next, scan 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.
Any Length
This option decodes MSI bar codes containing any number of characters.
Selecting this option may lead to misdecodes for MSI codes. See following Note.
To set any length, scan this MSI Any Length bar code:
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.
