Defining Field Options 4-13
Using Option 60 (Incrementing/Decrementing Fields)
Applications such as serial numbers require a numeric field to increment (increase in value) or
decrement (decrease in value) on successive labels within a single batch. Incrementing or
decrementing can be applied to numeric data only. If a field 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).
When using Option 60 with RFID Data Fields or EPC data:
♦ Use caution when incrementing an RFID field if data is coming directly from a host because
the field must be incremented in ASCII Hex.
♦ The data increments by one as follows: 0 to F (0123456789ABCDEF), then back to 0.
♦ Parameters R3, R4, R5, and R6 are ignored for RFID and EPC data fields.
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 is the default.
I incrementing field
D decrementing field (not valid for RFID)
R4. amount Amount to increase or decrease. Range: 0 to 999.
1 is the default.
R5. l pos Leftmost position in inc/dec portion of field. If this value is not
entered, the default value is used. Range: 0 to 2710. 1 is the
default.
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. 2710 is the default.
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.
