MSI Plessey information:

MSI Plessey, known as Modified Plessey, is invented by Plessey Co. in 1972. It is primary used in retails. MSI Plessey is a linear numeric- only barcode with a variable length and low- density. In MSI Plessey barcode, each character is represented by 4 bars and 4 spaces. Each pair of bar and space compose a information bit. Binary zero consists of a narrow bar and a wide space, while binary one consists of a wide bar and a narrow space. A complete MSI Plessey is constructed of a start data, data, a check digit, an ending bar and a stop character.

.NET MSI Plessey generator for Winforms encodes:

  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
According to Leitcode specification, this generator encodes 13 digits only, excluding the last checksum digit.

Development Environment

  • Windows Forms Application (design-time and runtime support)

  • Console Application (runtime support)

  • Windows Service (runtime support)

  • Class Library (runtime support)

Generate MSI Plessey barcode using .NET Windows Forms Barcode Control

Install and register .NET barcode generator control in .NET projects for MSI Plessey generation
  • Download Avapose.com trial package and unzip

  • Copy Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.WinForms.dll to your Winforms project folder
    (Do not copy .dll to .NET bin directory, Visual Studio will do so.)

  • Add Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.WinForms.dll to your Winforms project reference

  • Add Winforms Control to your Visual Studio Toolbox.

  • 1. Right click .NET Visual Studio Toolbox, select menu Choose Items...

    2. In "Choose Toolbox Items" form, click button "Browse...", and select dll
        Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.WinForms.dll

Generate, print MSI Plessey barcodes with C# class

BarCode barcode = new BarCode();

aa.Symbology = Symbology.MSI;

aa.Data = "7523";

aa.BarcodeImageWidth = 175;

aa.BarcodeImageHeight = 50;

aa.X =6;

aa.Y = 6;

aa.AutoResize = true;

aa.draw("...\msiplessey_csharp.gif");


Generate, print MSI Plessey barcodes with VB.NET class

Dim barcode As Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.ClassLibrary.BarCode = New Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.ClassLibrary.Barcode

barcode.Symbology = Avapose.Barcode.Encoder.ClassLibrary.Symbology.MSI

barcode.Data = "6517"

barcode.BarcodeImageWidth = 175

barcode.BarcodeImageHeight = 50

barcode.X = 1

barcode.Y = 60

barcode.AutoResize = True

barcode.draw("...\msiplessey_vb.gif")
