8.7.3.1.13 Global counter

With the check box <Global counter> on the <Counter> tab selected the counter object
will be declared as <Global counter>. Within a print job only one counter can be declared
as <Global counter>. The counter reading is stored in a special memory register and it
is available in all print jobs.
Therefore it is possible to access the current counter reading from each print job provided
in that print job there is one counter declared as <Global counter>.
Example
With a <Global counter> it is possible to print consecutive numbers on different products
which are imprinted using different print jobs.
Basics rules about global counters
1. There can be declared only one counter as global counter within a print job
2. The counter reading can only be set or reset within the job editor. For this the
object has to be selected in the job editor in order to call the <Object
settings>dialog box.
3. A <Global counter> can be edited during <Print Start> mode (green <Print
Start> button is activated) but closing the dialog box will discard all changes.
Changes on the <Global counter> settings and counter reading can only be
saved during <Print Stop> mode (red <Print Stop> button is activated).

8.7.3.2 Carry out replacements

On the tab <Replacements> of the dialog box you can generate accordant
replacements (numbers or letters) for the counter values to get an operating specific
display or coding of the specifications.
You will find further information regarding the carrying out of substitutions
in the chapter 8.8 Replacements
