Label Formatting Command Functions 
 
 
 
 
Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual  139 
z  Zero (Ø) Conversion to “0” 
 
This command removes the slash zero in fonts 0 to 8, and in the human readable field 
(if any) of the bar codes A to Z. The command applies only to format records containing 
those fonts and bar codes, and is effective only for the label format in which it appears.  
 
 
Syntax: 
z 
 
Sample: 
<STX>L 
z 
121100000000000Test0000<CR> 
E 
 
 
 
None of the smooth fonts (i.e., Font 9) use the slash zero convention, and this 
command will have no effect on scalable fonts. 
 
 
 
 
 
+ (>)(()  Make Last Field Entered Increment  
 
This command, useful in printing sequenced labels, causes the printer to automatically 
increment a field in a batch of labels. The numeric data in the field will increment by the 
value assigned after the plus sign (+) each time a label is produced [or the greater than 
symbol [>] can be substituted to make the field increment alphabetically, or the left 
parenthesis [(] can be substituted to make the field increment hexadecimal data (valid 
hexadecimal data is 0-9 or A-F, usually in pairs)]. This command is effective only on the 
label format record that it follows, and is intended to be used with the Q, <STX>E, or 
<STX>G commands. 
 
Syntax: 
*pii 
 
* 
-
Is + for numeric increment, > for alphanumeric 
increment, or (for hexadecimal increment. 
 
p 
-
Is the fill character for the left-hand character of the 
field. 
 
Where: 
ii 
-
Is the amount by which to increment the field. 
 
Sample: 
<STX>L<CR> 
13220000000000012345<CR> 
+01<CR> 
Q0003<CR> 
E<CR> 
 
The sample above will generate a single field label format that 
prints the initial label with a value of 12345, and then increments 
that number by one for the next two labels.
