Make Last Field Entered Increment - Datamax E-Class Mark II Programmer's Manual

z Zero (Ø) Conversion to "0"
This command removes the slash zero in fonts 0 to 8, and in the human readable field
(if any) of the bar codes A to Z. The command applies only to format records containing
those fonts and bar codes, and is effective only for the label format in which it appears.
Syntax:
Sample:

None of the smooth fonts (i.e., Font 9) use the slash zero convention, and this
command will have no effect on scalable fonts.

Make Last Field Entered Increment

This command, useful in printing sequenced labels, causes the printer to automatically
increment a field in a batch of labels. The numeric data in the field will increment by the
value assigned after the plus sign (+) each time a label is produced [or the greater than
symbol [>] can be substituted to make the field increment alphabetically, or the left
parenthesis [(] can be substituted to make the field increment hexadecimal data (valid
hexadecimal data is 0-9 or A-F, usually in pairs)]. This command is effective only on the
label format record that it follows, and is intended to be used with the Q, <STX>E, or
<STX>G commands.

The sample above will generate a single field label format that
prints the initial label with a value of 12345, and then increments
that number by one for the next two labels.
