Protect Counters
Intermec EasyCoder C4 – Programmer's Guide Ed. 3
When the optional Keyboard Display Unit (KDU) is used, the label form can be
designed to "skip" a consecutive number prompt, thereby protecting the data. This
feature is especially useful when the counter represents a serial number or other
types of number, that should never be repeated.
By placing one (1) minus sign as the fi rst character of the prompt, the prompt will
appear only once after the form is retrieved.
Example:
C0,10,L+1,"-Enter Serial Number:"
By placing two (2) minus signs as the fi rst two characters of the prompt, the
prompt will never be displayed.
Example:
C0,10,L+1,"- -Enter Serial Number:"
The protected consecutive number is accessed and modifi ed from the optional
Keyboard Display Unit only.
Enter the following when the KDU is displaying:
FORM - retrieve form
F2 - list forms vx.x
1. If necessary, press <Exit> key to display above.
2. Press <F1> key.
3. Press 4 9 1 6.
4. Press <Form> key.
5. Key in Form name and press <Enter> to retrieve.
6. Enter or modify the consecutive number.
7. When complete, print label to store new number in memory.
