Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields

The Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields command is a variation of the standard IGP/PGL bar code commands. Use this command with the appropriate parameters from the standard bar code command when automatic incrementing of fixed bar code data fields is required.

The Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields command format is shown and defined below. (Incremental command parameters are shown in boldface type; standard bar code command parameters and optional nonincremental parameters are shown in italics.)

STOP
I	Identifies this bar code command as an Incremental
	Bar Code command; enter I.
idir	The optional increment direction parameter to specify
	an increment (add) or decrement (subtract) to the data.
	Enter a plus sign (+) or leave the field blank to
	increment (the default). Enter a minus sign (±) to
	decrement.
STEPMASK	Defines the increment amount (step), number of
	character positions in the data field, and provides a
	mask to control the increment function on specific
	parts of the data. Refer to ªIncrementing Bar Code
	Dataº on page 5±121 for complete information on
	STEPMASK parameter values.
RPTn	The optional incremental repeat count parameter to
	specify the number of times a particular field value
	will repeat before it is incremented. A repeated field
	value is useful when printing multiple rows/columns of
	identical labels before increasing to the next value.
