MSI - Plessey

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 an MSI bar code can be of any length, a given application usually implements a fixed-length code.

The following property is specific to the MSI type and available in the Property Grid under the Symbology property:
