MSI Mod 10/10
The character complement of the MSI Mod 10/10 code comprises:
– 10 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
– 1 start character: : (X’3A in ISO 7-bit or X’7A in EBCDIC)
– 1 stop character: ; (X’3B in ISO 7-bit or X’5E in EBCDIC)
The number of characters is variable. The start/stop characters are programmed with the
characters : and ;.
In the plain text line, these characters are printed for start/stop.
A check digit is required and must be programmed in the application (and must be modulo
10 from a checksum generated in several stages).
The ratio of wide to narrow elements is fixed and is always 2 : 1.
The blank zone before and after the barcode symbol should be at least 10 times the width
of a narrow element.
