8-26-2 Fixing the Length of MSI Plessey (0x1E/0x1F)
Length for MSI Plessey may be set for “Any Length”, “One Discrete Length”, “Two Discrete
Lengths”, or “Length within a Range”.
The length of a code refers to the number of characters including check digits that the code
contains.
Fixing to One Discrete Length:
This option limits decodes to only those MSI Plessey bar codes containing a selected length.
Length is selected from the numeric bar codes on page 108. For example, to decode only MSI
Plessey bar codes with 14 characters, scan “MSI Plessey – One Discrete Length” and then
scan numeric bar codes “1” followed by “4”.
(Note: Single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.)
To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan “Cancel” bar code on page 108
MSI Plessey – One Discrete Length
Fixing to Two Discrete Lengths:
This option limits decodes to only those MSI Plessey bar codes containing either of two
selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes on page 108. For example,
to decode only those MSI Plessey bar codes containing either 2 or 14 characters, select “MSI
Plessey – Two Discrete Lengths”. Then, scan numeric bar codes “0”, “2”, “1” and “4”.
(Note: Single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.)
To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan “Cancel” bar code on page 108.
MSI Plessey – Two Discrete Lengths
Fixing to Length within a Range:
This option limits decodes to only those MSI Plessey bar codes within a specified range. For
example, to decode MSI Plessey bar codes containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan
“MSI Plessey – Length within a Range” and then scan numeric bar codes of “0”, “4”, “1” and “2”.
(Note: Single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.)
To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan “Cancel” bar code on page 108.
MSI Plessey – Length within a Range
Fixing to Any Length:
Scan this option to decode MSI Plessey bar codes containing any number of characters.
(Note: Selecting this option may lead to misdecodes for MSI Plessey.)
