Text Wizard - Counter
On this page of the wizard, you define the counter variable.
Figure 40 • Dialog box for Text Wizard when Counter option is chosen
Starting Value: Set the starting value for the counter. The counter will increment or decrement
from the starting value.
Available counters: When adding a text object, the user is prompted to define whether this will
be a fixed or variable value object. If the Variable action is chosen, and then the date or time
option the user can decide between the computer time and value offsets. If the checkbox "Use
the printer’s internal counter" is checked, the variable counter will be set by the printer to the
time of printing. The variable field must use a native printer font for the counter to work.
Prompt for value before print: Click this option to enable entering the starting value of the
counter when you start printing labels. Enter the text that will be shown before printing.
The message will be shown on the screen each time the label is to be printed.
Set maximum number of digits: Define whether the maximum length of digits the counter can
occupy.
Increment or decrement: Define that the variable value will increase from label to label, or
decrease.
Preview: The field shows the preview of the counter based on your selection.
