MSI Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for MSI Length Control. Length 1 is the
minimum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first fixed length if in Fixed
Length
Mode. Length includes the barcode’s data characters only.
The length can be set from 01 to 50 characters.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 0 to 50). Pad the number with leading
zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 1 = 01, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT MSI LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in the Keypad Appendix, that represent
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below for some examples of how to set this
feature.

NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
