(9)Increment/decrement

Printing is performed while the data is incremented or decremented every time a label is issued. Where the data row exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be drawn.

Initial value	0000	0000	0000		0000	999999
INC/DEC	+10	+10	+10		+10	+1

1st label	0000	0000		000	0000	999999
2nd label	0010	0010		010	0010		000
3rd label	0020	0020		020	0020		001
4th label	0030	0030		030	0030		002
5th label	0040	0040		040	0040		003

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
(10) 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.

If characters are not placed on one line when equal space is designated, the width is calculated automatically. When the width is less than the limit value (2 mm) for the outline font, the field is not drawn. (The same previous field is also not drawn.)

(12)Data string to be printed

Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol “=.” Up to 255 digits can be printed. When the number of digits exceeds 255, the excessive data will be discarded.

For the character code table, refer to the character code table mentioned later.
