Letters and numerals for increment/decrement
For the data string, up to 40 digits (including letters, numerals, and symbols) are
possible. Only the numerals are picked up and calculated for
incrementing/decrementing, and then are returned to the previous position to draw the
data.
Example of increment/decrement calculation
Initial value 00000 A0A0A 7A8/9 A2A0A
INC/DEC +1 +1 +3 -3
1st label 00000 A0A0A 7A8/9 A2A0A
2nd label 00001 A0A1A 7A9/2 A1A7A
3rd label 00002 A0A2A 7A9/5 A1A4A
4th label 00003 A0A3A 7A9/8 A1A1A
5th label 00004 A0A4A 8A0/1 A0A8A

The leading zero(s) in a data row is replaced by a space(s) according to the designated
number of digits. However, if the number of digits to be suppressed is greater than the
data row, the data row will be drawn without zero suppression. Where the data row
exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be drawn. When the
font type is 51, 52, 53, 54 or 55, zero suppression is not designated. If it is designated, it
is ignored, and the printer operates as if there was no designation.
(12) Alignment
If characters are not placed on one line when equal space and automatic line feed is
designated, the following steps should be performed.
Decrease the value of the character-to-character space. When characters are not placed
on one line if the value is set to “0”, return the value to its default, and then reduce the
horizontal magnification for a character by 0.5.
If characters are still not placed on one line, repeatedly decrease the value of the
character-to-character space, and then reduce the horizontal magnification. When
characters are not placed on one line if the character magnification is set to “0.5” and the
character-to-character space is set to “0”, the field is not drawn. (The same previous field
is also not drawn.)
