INSTRUCTION	DESCRIPTION			PAGE
Faaaabcccc	Sequential Numbering. Allows the printing of sequencing fields (text,			Page 4-70
ddee	bar codes) where all incrementing is done within the printer.
	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 (001-9999)
	dd	=	No. of digits for sequential numbering (01-99, default = 8)
	ee	=	No. of digits free from sequential numbering (01-99, default = 0)

FWaaHbbbb	Horizontal Line. Prints a horizontal line. Units of measurement are							Page 4-48
	dots.

FXaaabccc	Data Matrix. Sequential Numbering. Prints sequential numbered Data							Page 4-101
dddeee	Matrix 2-D symbols.
	aaa	= Number of duplicate labels (001-999)
	b	= Increment or decrement

+ Increment - Decrement

ccc= Increment/decrement steps (001-999)

ddd= Sequential numbering start position (001-999). Referenced to left side.

eee= Incremented data length (001-999). Measured from start position.
