There are two ways to enter the first number in the incrementing sequence. You can use batch data to define the first number as a fixed character.The first number in the sequence must contain the same amount of digits as the highest number to be counted. For example, to count the numbers 1 - 999, the first number in the sequence must be entered as 001.

Check digits are typically used to ensure that a text or bar code field scans correctly. If you apply Option 31, the printer calculates a check digit. A check digit scheme determines how the printer calculates a check digit. When you define a check digit scheme, you assign a number to identify it. This number is later entered in box R4 when you apply Option 31 to a field. You can use check digits with text or bar code fields. Check digit calculations are performed on numeric data only.

Do not use check digits with price fields. Do not define a check digit scheme for these bar codes, because they have predefined check digits: UPC, EAN, Code 39 (with the MOD43 check digit), and Code 93.

Syntax		{A,selector,action,device,modulus,
		fld_length,D/P,"weights" p }
A1.	A	Check Digit Header.
A2.	selector	Assign a number from 1 - 10 to this check digit formula.
A3. action		The action to perform. Enter A to add the check digit scheme.
A4. device		Device. Use R.
A5. modulus		Number from 2 - 11. The modulus is used to divide the sum
		of products or the sum of digits.
A6.	fld_length	The maximum number of characters the field will contain.
