BARCODE

Must be the letter ‘B’ for a bar code field.

 

The B is followed by one or two digits for the field number.

 

There can be up to 100 fields per format, in any combination

 

of text, barcode, line, or graphic fields.

 

Values:

0-99

IFLAG

You can set numeric fields to increase or decrease in value as

 

each ticket is printed.

 

This parameter consists of one character to define the field as

 

incremented, decremented, or constant.

 

Values:

I = Increment

 

 

D = Decrement

 

If the field does not change, define IFLAG as ‘I’ and set

 

IVALUE to zero (0).

 

NOTE: Do not select incrementing on UPC or EAN bar codes

 

 

or fields that contain a check digit.

IVALUE

One to three digits to define the amount by which the value in

 

the field increases or decreases as each ticket is printed. If

 

the field does not change, define IFLAG as ‘I’ and set IVALUE

 

to zero (0).

 

NOTE: The first number in the count sequence must contain

 

 

the same number of digits as the highest number to

 

 

be counted. For example, to count the numbers 1 to

 

 

999, the first number in the sequence must be entered

 

 

as 001.

 

Values:

0-999

ROW

One to four digits to define the row location of the field on the

 

supply. This is the distance from the guide edge zero point at

 

the bottom of the supply and the bottom of the field.
