Incrementing Fields (Option 60)

You may have an application, such as serial numbers, in which you need a numeric field to increment (increase in value) or decrement (decrease in value) on successive supplies.

Incrementing should be applied to numeric data only. If you have a field that includes letters and digits, apply this option only to the portion of the field that contains digits.

NOTE: This option causes some delay in printing between tickets.

1.Define your text or bar code field on the Format Worksheet as shown in Chapter 2, "Designing a Format."

2.Find Option 60 on the Format Worksheet. This option increments fields.

Make sure you enter the incrementing option in the same row as the field to which it applies.

3.In box R3, after 60, place an I if the value will increase as you print or a D if the value will decrease as you print.

4.Write the amount by which the printer counts in box R4. For example, do you want to count by 1's, 2's, 10's, etc.? Valid options range from 1 to 32,000.
