Sample
<STX>L
13220000000000012345
+01
Q0003
E
Result
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.
Embedding
Numeric strings for incrementing may also be embedded between alphabetic
characters (e.g., when systems require alphanumeric barcodes with alphabetic
prefixes or suffixes).
Sample
<STX>L
161100000100010AB0001CD
+ 100
Q0003
E
Result
The sample above will print three labels, incrementing 0001 by 1 on each label with
AB and CD remaining untouched: AB0001CD, AB0002CD, AB0003CD. Note that the
increment value has one leading blank and two trailing zeros, while the blank is a pad
character and the trailing zeroes are placeholders that leave CD unchanged.
– |< | ) Make Last Field entered a Decrement Field
This command is used to print sequenced labels. It causes the printer to
automatically decrement a field in a batch of labels. The numeric data in the field will
decrement by the value assigned after the minus (-) sign each time a label is
produced. The less than character "<" can be substituted to make the field decrement
