Next Data Entry Field, Select

Purpose: Moves the field pointer to the next data entry field.

Syntax: <CR>

Notes: If you have not selected a page and the pointer is designating the last field,

the field pointer moves back to the first data entry field in the format. If

you selected a multiformat page and the field pointer is pointing to the last

field in a format, it moves to the first field in the next format.

Numeric Field Separator

Purpose: Specifies which numeric data within a field to increment or decrement.

You must enclose the data between two sets of <FS> commands:

<FS>data<FS>.

Syntax: <FS>

Notes: You can have more than one region per field as long as they do not

overlap. The printer independently increments or decrements each region

according to the increment or decrement value specified for the field. The

length of data does not change. Rather, the values increment or decrement

as in an odometer: 9 increments to 0. The printer ignores any non-

numeric characters within the region.

The following example illustrates the Numeric Field Separator command:

<STX><CR>Increment Field<ETX>

<STX><CR>Decrement Field<ETX>
