MSI Set Length 2

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for MSI Length Control. Length 2 is

the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in

Fixed Length Mode. Length includes the barcode’s check, data, and full-ASCII shift

characters. The length does not include start/stop characters.

The length can be set from 1 to 50 characters. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this

length (only one fixed length).

Table 22 provides examples for setting Length 2. See page 219 for detailed instructions on

setting this feature.
