Symbologies 12 - 41Set Lengths for MSI (continued)Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only MSI symbols containing either of two selectedlengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decodeonly those MSI symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select MSI - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0,2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.MSI - Two Discrete LengthsLength Within Range - Select this option to decode an MSI symbol within a specific length range. Selectlengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode MSI symbolscontaining between 4 and 12 characters, first scan MSI - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (enter aleading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.MSI - Length Within RangeAny Length - Select this option to decode MSI symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner’scapability.NOTEDue to the construction of the MSI symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of thecode to transmit as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To prevent this,Motorola recommends selecting specific lengths (MSI - One Discrete Length, Two Discrete Lengths) forMSI applications.MSI - Any Length
