Sequential Numbering

Command Structure <ESC>Faaaabcccc,dd,ee

 

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.

 

 

Example:

<ESC>F001-001,04,03

 

 

 

 

Decrementing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

321

 

 

 

 

 

004321

 

 

 

 

 

 

Free from Decrementing

 

 

 

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.
