Sequential Numbering - SATO CL412E Operator And Technical Reference Manual

Sequential Numbering

Command Structure
Command Function
Input to Printer
SATO CL Series "e" Printers
<ESC>Faaaabcccc,dd,ee,g
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.
,g = Count base
1 Decimal Count
2 Hexadecimal Base
Example: <ESC>F001-001,04,03
Decrementing
004321321
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
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.
