Numbering Function

The Numbering Function can be used to print many copies of the same text while increasing certain characters (letters, numbers or bar-code data) after each label is printed. This type of automatic increment is very useful when printing serial number labels, production control labels or other labels requiring ascending codes.

Letters and numbers increase as shown below:

Spaces (shown as underscores in the examples below) can be used to adjust the space between characters or to control the number of digits that are printed.

Examples showing how spaces are increased.

NOTE

Only one numbering field can be selected from any text.

If you include a non-alphabetic character such as a symbol in the numbering field, only the letters and numbers in the numbering field will be increased when the labels are printed, or just one label will be printed if the field only contains a non-alphabetic character.

When a bar-code is selected as the numbering field, only the numbers in the bar-code data are increased.

To Print Labels Using the Numbering Function

1 ) Hold down the CODE key and press the "Number" (#5) key. The message "SELECT START POINT" appears on the display.

Select the start point.

2 ) Press one of the cursor keys (up, down, left or right) until the first character that you wish to include in the numbering field is flashing.

If a bar-code was selected in step 2, this step is skipped.

A numbering field must be located entirely within one line of text of a single block.
