+ (-) Make Last Field Entered Increment (Decrement) Numeric

The printer is capable of automatically incrementing and decrementing fields on

each label of a batch printed. This command is useful for serializing labels. The

command format is

*pii

Where:

Is + for numeric increment, or - for numeric decrement

p -

Is the fill character that is displayed for zeros on the left

ii - Is the amount to increment the field by from 01 to 99

Sample:

<STX>L

19000090000000012345<CR>

+001<CR>

X<CR>

<STX>E0003

<STX>G

The above sample will generate a single field label format that prints the initial

label with a value of 12345 and then increments by one for the next two labels.

This command will only affect numbers. If a character other than a number is

inserted, it will affect all numbers to the right of this character. Any numbers to

the left of it will be ignored. If the fill character is a space, leading zeros will be

printed blank. Some examples follow:
