4-8 Packet Reference Manual
R7. “string” String to append. Range: 0 to 24. The default is “”. Must be enclosed in quotation
marks.
Example R,53,0,0,0,1,"" |
Uses option 53 to set the error control to 0, disables the ECI data and menu symbol flags, and
does not append any data to the bar code.
Using Option 60 (Incrementing/Decrementing Fields)
You may have an application, such as serial numbers, in which you need a numeric field to
increment (increase in value) or decrement (decrease in value) on successive tickets within a
single batch. Incrementing or decrementing can be applied to numeric data only. If you have a
field that includes letters and digits, apply incrementing or decrementing to only the portion of
the field that contains digits. Do not use with Option 42 (price field).
Syntax R,60,I/D,amount,l pos,r pos |
R1. R Option Header.
R2. 60 Option 60.
R3. I/D Increment or decrement:
I incrementing field
D decrementing field
R4. amount Amount to increase or decrease. Range: 0 to 999.
R5. l pos Leftmost position in inc/dec portion of field. If this value is not entered, the default
value 1 is used. Range: 0 to 2710.
R6. r pos Rightmost position in inc/dec portion of field. If this value is not used, the entire
field length is used as the default. Range: 0 to 2710.
Example R,60,I,5,1,6 |
Increments a field by 5 each time the field is printed. The field increments beginning with the
first left position and ending with the sixth position.
Fixing the First Number in the Incrementing Sequence
There are two ways to enter the first number in the incrementing sequence. You can use batch
data or use Option 1 to define the first number as a fixed character. The first number in the
sequence must contain the same amount of digits as the highest number to be counted. For
example, to count the numbers 1 to 999, the first number in the sequence must be entered as
001.
