SEQUENTIAL NUMBERING

FUNCTION

To print sequential fields (text, bar codes) where all incrementing is done within the printer. Up to eight

different sequential fields can be specified per label. Sequencing is effective for up to 99-digit numeric

data within each field.

FORMAT

<ESC>Faaaabcccc,dd,ee,g

aaaa = Number of times to repeat the same data (0001 to 9999)

b = Plus or minus symbol (+ for increments; - for decrements)

cccc = Value of step for sequence (0001 to 9999)

dd = Sequential numbering digit quantity (01 to 99). The first character starts after

those exempted in ee. If digits are omitted, 8 is default

ee = Number of digits free from sequential numbering (0 to 99) starting with the right

most position. If digits are left out, the default is 0.

g = Count base 1 Decimal Count 2 Hexadecimal Base

Place preceding the starting value to be incremented or decremented.

EXAMPLE

<ESC>A<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0100<ESC>XMSERIAL NUMBER:

<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0200

<ESC>F001+005

<ESC>L0202<ESC>XM1000<ESC>Q2<ESC>Z

OUTPUT

(4-6a)

NOTES

The value specified for Print Quantity should be equal to the number of different sequential values

desired multiplied by the number of repeats specified. Example: To print 2 sets each of numbers 1001-

1025 on separate labels, we need 50 total labels.

<ESC>A

<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0100<ESC>F002+001<ESC>XM1001<ESC>Q50<ESC>Z

(4-6b)

It is necessary to specify the print position for each sequential field on a label. Up to eight different

sequential fields can be specified per label. Alpha characters are ignored unless in Hexadecimal mode.

H-F are valid characters.
