The Symbology and Size property page for the MSI Plessey symbology includes the following options.

Symbology: Specifies the symbology that is selected. You can use this list to select a different symbology.

Dimensions

X dimension: Specifies the width of the X dimension.

Symbology Specific Options

Check digit: Specifies that an optional check digit is used.
MOD 10 check digit: Specifies that a modulo 10 check digit is used. By default, this option is selected and cannot be changed.
Extended length: By default, the MSI Plessey symbology supports 14 data characters and truncates any additional data. This option specifies that the default behavior is overridden so that additional data is not truncated after 14 characters.

Color: Displays the currently selected color of the barcode symbol. To select a different color, click this option, and then use the Color Picker to select the color that you want. For more information, refer to Color Picker.

Barcode scanners cannot read colored barcodes as well as they can read barcodes that are printed in black. Therefore, we recommend that you do not modify the color of barcode objects unless they are used only for decoration.

Print Method: Opens the Print Method Options dialog, where you can specify how your barcodes are printed on thermal printers. Available when you use a thermal printer that has Drivers by Seagull™ installed.
