MSI was developed by the MSI Data Corporation, based on the
original Plessey Code.
MSI, also known as Modified Plessey, is used primarily to mark
retail shelves for inventory control. MSI is a continuous, non-self-checking
symbology.
While the length of an MSI barcode can be of any length, a
given application usually implements a fixed-length code.
In order to get a MSI barcode image, please follow these
steps:
-
Set the Symbology property to Msi
-
Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
All values for barcode dimensions are expressed in INCHES by default. However, Barcode Professional supports other unit of measurement such as Millimeter, Centimeter, and Mils. For modifying the unit of measurement for barcoding, please set up the BarcodeUnit property as needed.
-
Set the BarWidth and BarHeight properties (Values are expressed
in Inches)
-
Set the QuietZone property (Value is expressed in Inches)
-
Set the Code property with the value to encode. It can be numbers 0
through 9 only
-
Barcode Professional will automatically generate and append the checksum value
-
Tip 1: You can disable this behavior by setting up to False the AddChecksum
property
-
Tip 2: You can leave AddChecksum property set to True but
rid of the checksum value from the Human Readable text by setting up to False
the DisplayChecksum property
