Parameter description

Text

Any text expression or data field containing a text. Numbers must be provided as text.

The MSI Plessey barcode was designed in the 1970s by the Plessey Company in England and is used primarily in libraries and retail applications.

This is a numeric only code that stands up well to frequent use.

This code is not self checking, a checksum is highly recommended.

The symbology of the MSI Plessey character set consists of barcode symbols representing the numbers 0-9, the start character and the stop character.
