The length of a code refers to the number of characters (for example, human-readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains.
The options are:
Any length
One or two discrete lengths
Lengths within a specific range
The default behavior is
4 to 55
, with a default value of
.
When setting the lengths, enter a leading zero for single-digit numbers.
One Discrete Length - Decode only MSI symbols containing a selected length.
Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only MSI symbols containing either of two lengths.
Length Within Range - Decode MSI symbols with a specific length range.
Any Length - Decode MSI symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner’s capability.
Due to the construction of the MSI symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the code to transmit as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the barcode. To prevent this, select specific lengths (MSI - One Discrete Length, Two Discrete Lengths) for MSI applications.
