Appendix A: Command Quick Reference

INSTRUCTION	DESCRIPTION						PAGE
Faaaabcccc	Sequential Numbering. Allows the printing of sequencing fields (text,						Page 4-72
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.

						M-8400RV


	aa = Width of Horizontal Line					01 to 99

	bbbb = Length of Horizontal Line					0001-0832


FWaabbVccc	Box. Prints a box. For values aa, bbbb, cc, and dddd, see instructions						Page 4-48
Hdddd	for horizontal and vertical lines. Units of measurement are dots.

						M-8400RV


	aa = Width of Horizontal Side					01 to 99

	bb = Width of Vertical Side					01 to 99

	cccc = Length of Vertical Side					0001-1424

						M-8400RV


	cc = Width of Vertical Line					01 to 99

	dddd = Length of Vertical Line					0001-1424


FXaaabccc	Data Matrix. Sequential Numbering. Prints sequential numbered						Page 4-103
dddeee	Data 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.
