If any of these symbols are entered in the Type Position, the printing will either increment or decrement numbers or letters in the label position specified earlier in this field. Information entered in the Data/Prompt Field in the next step will tell the Printer the increment value being use. When viewing the Print Label Screen, it will ask ‘Initial Increment?’ or ‘Initial Decrement?’ The number entered at this time will increment or decrement each time a label is printed. The number of labels to be printed with the same number before an increment or decrement occurs can be set with the ALT-P command as described earlier. The default value is 1.
