Letters and numerals for increment/decrement

For the data string, up to 40 digits (including letters, numerals, and symbols) are

possible. Only the numerals are picked up and calculated for incrementing/decrementing, and then are returned to the previous position to draw the data.

	Example of increment/decrement calculation
	Initial value	00000		A0A0A				7A8/9			A2A0A
	INC/DEC	+1	+1				+3					-3
	1st label	00000		A0A0A				7A8/9			A2A0A
	2nd label	00001		A0A1A				7A9/2			A1A7A
	3rd label	00002		A0A2A				7A9/5			A1A4A
	4th label	00003		A0A3A				7A9/8			A1A1A
	5th label	00004		A0A4A				8A0/1			A0A8A
(11) Zero suppression
No. of zeros to be suppressed		0	1		2		2			3		4	5
	Data	0000	0000		0000			0A12		0123		0123	0123
	Print	0000		0		00			A12		123	0123	0123

The leading zero(s) in a data row is replaced by a space(s) according to the designated number of digits. However, if the number of digits to be suppressed is greater than the data row, the data row will be drawn without zero suppression. Where the data row exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be drawn. When the font type is 51, 52, 53, 54 or 55, zero suppression is not designated. If it is designated, it is ignored, and the printer operates as if there was no designation.

If characters are not placed on one line when equal space and automatic line feed is designated, the following steps should be performed.

Decrease the value of the character-to-character space. When characters are not placed on one line if the value is set to “0”, return the value to its default, and then reduce the horizontal magnification for a character by 0.5.

If characters are still not placed on one line, repeatedly decrease the value of the character-to-character space, and then reduce the horizontal magnification. When characters are not placed on one line if the character magnification is set to “0.5” and the character-to-character space is set to “0”, the field is not drawn. (The same previous field is also not drawn.)
