A sample format using the single serial number function:
^D57 <CR>
1,575,609,,25,35,0,1,285,0,0 <CR>
1,280,300,2,1,5 <CR>
^D56 <CR>
^A2^D86 <CR>
^A1^D84 <CR>
^A5^D85 <CR>
^A3^D75 <CR>
^D2 <CR>
20 <CR>
^D3 <CR>
This format would enable the decrement function (^A2^D86). Select text string #1 to
decrement (^A1^D84), load the step value of 5 (^A5^D85) and then print three serialized
labels (^A3^D75). The printed result would be "20" for the first label, "15" for the second
label, and "10" for the third or last label.
A sample format using the multiple serial number function:
^D57 <CR>
2,575,609,,25,35,0,1,285,0,0 <CR>
1,280,300,3,1,5 <CR>
2,280,100,3,1,5 <CR>
^D56 <CR>
^A1^D88 <CR>
^A2^D89 <CR>
^A3^D75 <CR>
^D2 <CR>
100 <CR>
200 <CR>
^D3 <CR>
This format would enable the multiple serial number function and select the first text string to
increment by one (^A1^D88), the second field to decrement by one (^A2^D89), and print
three serialized labels (^A3^D75). The first text string would be printed as "100", "101", and
"102" while the second text string is printed as "200", "199", and then finally "198".
5.8 Text String Commands
These commands offer special functions pertaining to the text strings. Some of the special
functions would include Pre-padded text and auto-print.
^A ^D COMMAND
60 Clears Command ^D61
XX 61 Mark Text Starting Position: The ^Axx specifies which text field to start
entering new data. This is useful for creating variable text fields after a string
of fixed text fields. If set to a value of 2, the first line of new text entered
following the ^D2 will overwrite line two. If two new text strings are entered,
the existing text lines two and three will be overwritten. This command is used
