The bar code type NW7 is for reverse compatibility
only. We do not recommend using this command for new
systems. There is no difference between CODABAR and
NW7.
MSI PLESSEY BAR CODES
The MSI Plessey bar code is a fixed length code that
uses only numerical characters. It is primarily used for
grocery applications. Three different types of encoding
exist with different levels of data protection. Please see
the bar code symbology specification for more informa-
tion on how to calculate these checksums.
The bar code type “PLESSEY” is used for reverse
compatibility only. We do not recommend using this
command for new systems. The PLESSEY type will force
a 2:1 ratio of the wide to narrow bar width.
