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.

When CODE128 (without auto code selection) is used, the number of the start code

(CODE A, CODE B and CODE C) digits is regarded as 2.

Zero suppression

Letters and numerals for increment/decrement

For CODE93 and CODE128, even if a data string other than numerals are included in the

data, increment/decrement is performed. However, if any code which does not exist in

each barcode table is contained in the data, increment/decrement is not performed.

For the data string, up to 40 digits (including letters, numerals, and symbols) are possible.

Only the numerals are selected and calculated for incrementing/decrementing, and then

are returned to the previous position to draw the data.

Example of increment/decrement calculation

Initial value

Increment/decrement of data including the special codes of CODE128

Increment/decrement calculation starts from the lowest digit in the data strings. If the

data string to be calculated is numeric and the next (upper) digit is ">," this data is a

special code (underlined digits shown in the table below). In such case, these two digits

are skipped, and the next digit is calculated.
