MSI/Plessey

This topic describes how to insert a barcode control of the MSI symbology (code type) into a report. In addition, it gives a short description of the MSI code type. To learn more about barcodes in XtraReports see the Barcodes Overview topic.

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.

The following properties should be set to specify a particular barcode of the MSI type:

• CodeMSIGenerator.MSICheckSum. This property is used to specify a checksum for the barcode. It should be set to an appropriate value in the MSICheckSum enumeration.
