strip of labels. Between 1 and 9999 labels may be printed before a cut is
made. The amount must be smaller than the quantity of labels printed.
made. The amount must be smaller than the quantity of labels printed.
+ (>) Make Last Field Entered Increment Numeric
(Alphanumeric)
(Alphanumeric)
The printer is capable of automatically incrementing fields on each label of a
batch. This command is useful to print labels numbered in sequence. The
data in the field will increment by the value after the + sign, each time a label
is printed. The + character may be replaced by a > character to make the field
increment alphabetically rather than numerically. This command is effective
only on the label format record it follows. It is intended for use with the label
batch quantity Q or the System-Level Commands for quantities and reprint,
<STX>E and <STX>G.

- (<) Make Last Field Entered Decrement Numeric
(Alphanumeric)
(Alphanumeric)
The printer is capable of counting down fields on labels in a batch. This
command is useful when printing labels need to be numbered in reverse
sequence. The data in the field will decrement by the value after the minus
sign with every label printed. The minus character may be replaced by a <
character in order to make the field decrement alphabetically rather than
numerically. This command has effect on only the label format record that it
follows. It is intended for use in conjunction with the label batch quantity Q, or
the System-Level Commands for quantity and reprint, <STX>E and <STX>G.

^ Set Count by Amount
An application using incrementing or decrementing fields (+, -, >, <) will
occasionally require that more than one label be printed with the same values
before the field data is updated. This situation is handled with the ^nn
command. All printers default to 1.

A - Set Format Attribute
This command specifies the type of format operation and remains in effect
until another format command is specified or another label format has begun
(<STX>L). Each label format defaults to the menu value.

B - Barcode Magnification
This command provides a mechanism to specify barcodes greater than 36
dots (0-9,A-Z in the field record). The value is reset to 1 at the start of every
label and stays active for the entire label or set to a new value.

C - Set Column Offset Amount
This command allows horizontal adjustment of the point where printing
begins. This feature is useful when a single format must be printed on several
different types of labels that contain pre-printed information. (If the pre-print
does not appear in the same place on every label, the new data may overlap
