(<) Make Last Field Entered Increment (Decrement) Alphanumeric - Brady TLS PC Link Programmer's Manual

> (<) Make Last Field Entered Increment (Decrement)
AlphaNumeric
The printer is capable of automatically incrementing and decrementing fields on
each label of a batch printed. This command will increment or decrement an
alphanumeric field. This command is useful for serializing labels. The command
format is
*pii
Where:
*
-
p -
ii -
Sample:
<STX>L
190000900000000ABC<CR>
>001<CR>
X<CR>
<STX>E0003
<STX>G
The above sample will generate a single field label format that prints the initial
label with a value of ABC and then increments by one for the next two labels
(ABD and ABE).
This command will affect numbers and both lowercase and uppercase letters. If a
non-alphanumeric character is inserted, it will affect all alphanumerics to the
right of this character. Any alphanumerics to the left of it will be ignored. The
increment/decrement value is numeric only. Some examples follow:

a9
A$Z9
