Box Counting
Incremental and decremental box counting is generated by a special code called an
“automatic attribute” entered as part of a message. This automatic attribute code
can be entered on any line and along with any other text or formatting
information.
The incremental box count attribute consists of the number from which counting
is to commence enclosed in the pointed brackets which can be accessed by holding
down.
and pressing:
For example:
In this example the number 001 has been entered. This means that the next item
to trigger the photocell will be printed 001; the following 002 and so on.
The maximum box count will be 999, after which numbering will revert to 000
and continue incrementally from there as before.
Incremental box counting can begin from any value. The number framed by the
brackets is the number from which counting will begin. So an entry of <100>
will begin with 100, 101 and so on up to 999, when it will revert to 000.
The number of digits entered indicates the maximum number that box counting
will reach. An entry of <1000> will begin with 1000, 1001 and so on up to 9999.
Any number of up to seven digits can be entered, with a theoretical maximum box
count of 9999999.
To start box counting at, say, 100 and count into the thousands, enter 100 as a four
digit number - <0100>. All numbers under 1000 will be padded with zeros.
