SATO Programming Reference
<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
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.
