Counter
Data Name
A unique name for the field
Start Values
Variable List
Choose the field that will have the starting value for
the counter.
the counter.
Enter Number
Enter the starting number of the counter. The counter
will start at this number each time you print the
label(s).
will start at this number each time you print the
label(s).
Length
Specifies the maximum length for the counter. The
full length is used, counters that do not fill the entire
length are left padded with 0’s.

Increment Values
Positive/Negative

Comments, Etc.
Comment
A comment about the data in the field
New Record
Increments/decrements on a new record
Copies
Increments/decrements on a copy of a record
Reset
Resets the counter field
Examples:
(each line is a record)
Checking Copies and Reset and printing 3 copies of each record would produce the
following results:
”Box 1 of 3”, “Box 2 of 3”, “Box 3 of 3”
”Box 1 of 3”, “Box 2 of 3”, “Box 3 of 3”
”Box 1 of 3”, “Box 2 of 3”, “Box 3 of 3”
Checking only Copies would increment/decrement on each label printed.
Checking only New Record would increment/decrement on each record

This field is used to automatically increment/decrement a value of a barcode
or text field on the label template. For example, suppose an order consists of
a set of three cartons, which are numbered 200, 201, and 202. To generate a
set of labels, you set the starting variable to 200 and increment the value by
one and print three copies of the same label. Everything on the label is the
same for each label except the counter field.
