Section 4. Programming Reference

Sequential Numbering

Command Structure	<ESC>Faaabcccc,dd,ee,f
	aaaa =		Number of times to repeat the same data (0001-9999)
	b	=	Plus or minus symbol (+ for increments; - for decrements)
	cccc =		Value of step for sequence (0001-9999)
	,dd	=	Number of digits for sequential numbering (01-99). The first
			incrementing character position starts after the positions
			exempted from sequential numbering as specified in ee.
			If these digits are left out, the default is 8.
	,ee	=	Number of digits free from sequential numbering (00-99)
			starting with the right most position. If these digits are left out,
			the default is 0.
	,f	=	0	Decimal count
			1	Hexadecimal count
				Decrementing
						321
				004321
					Free from Decrementing
	Example:			<ESC>F0001-001,04,03,0
				In this example, the right most (least significant) three digits
				would not decrement and the next four would decrement.
	Placement:			Preceding the starting value to be incremented or
				decremented.
	Default:			None
Command Function	To allow the ability to print sequential fields (text, bar codes) where all
	incrementing is done within the printer. Up to eight different
	sequential fields can be specified per label. Sequencing is effective
	for up to 99-digit numeric data within each field.
