The value represented by the bar code |
The MSI Plessey barcode was designed in the 1970s by the Plessy 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, and so a checksum is highly recommended.
The symbology of the MSI Plessy character set consists of bar code symbols representing the numbers 0-9, the start character and the stop character.
