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 incrementation 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.
| 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
 Hold
down the CODE key and press the "Number"
(#5) key. The message "SELECT START POINT"
appears on the display.
 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.
A
maximum of five characters can be selected for
the numbering field.

bar.
To
change the setting in steps of 5, hold down either
the up or down cursor key. Release the key when
the desired setting is displayed.

The number of each copy is displayed while it is being
