MSI Plessey條形碼是在20世紀(jì)70年代由英國(guó)Plessey Company所設(shè)計(jì)的,主要使用在圖書(shū)館和零售應(yīng)用中。MSI Code字符集的符號(hào)集是由數(shù)字0-9表示的條形碼符號(hào),開(kāi)始符和結(jié)束符組成。在MSI字體中,使用圓括號(hào)來(lái)表示開(kāi)始和結(jié)束字符。
The MSI Plessey barcode was designed in the 1970s by the Plessey Company in England and has been used primarily in libraries and retail applications. The symbology of the MSI Code character set consists of barcode symbols representing the numbers 0-9, the start character and the stop character. In the MSI font, the parentheses are used for start and stop characters.

Printing MSI fonts as a barcode may be difficult without implementation of IDAutomation's Font Tools, due to the required check digit calculation. If an easier-to-use barcode font is preferred and MSI Code is not required, consider IDAutomation's Codabar Barcode Font which does not require check digit characters. IDAutomation also provides many barcode components that may be easier to implement in applications and development environments due to their ability to automatically calculate checksums and format the barcode.
Details of the MSI Plessey Barcode Font Advantage Package are as follows:
- Font Tools Included - For easy integration into applications, IDAutomation provides several Font Tools that are free to use with IDAutomation fonts.
