CHAPTER 5 TPCL-LE MODE (INTERFACE COMMANDS)
B-EP Series
5-98
(7) Increment/decrement
Printing is performed while the data is incremented or decremented every time a label is
issued. Where the data row exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row
will not be drawn.

5th label 0040 0040 040 0040 003
Letters and numerals for increment/decrement
For the data string, up to 40 digits (including letters, numerals, and symbols) are possible.
Only the numerals are selected and calculated for incrementing/decrementing, and then
are returned to the previous position to draw the data.
Example of increment/decrement calculation
Initial value 00000 A0A0A 7A8/9 A2A0A
INC/DEC +1 +1 +3 -3
1st label 00000 A0A0A 7A8/9 A2A0A
2nd label 00001 A0A1A 7A9/2 A1A7A
3rd label 00002 A0A2A 7A9/5 A1A4A
4th label 00003 A0A3A 7A9/8 A1A1A
5th label 00004 A0A4A 8A0/1 A0A8A
(8) Zero suppression
No. of digits after zero
suppression

Print 0000 0 00 A12 123 0123 0123
Zero(s) in a data row is replaced with a space(s) from the upper digits, according to the
designated number of digits. However, if the number of digits after zero suppression is
greater than the data row, the data row will be drawn without performing zero
suppression. Where the data row exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data
row will not be drawn.
When the print data including start/stop codes are sent, the start/stop codes are also
counted as a digit each.
(9) Data string to be printed
Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol
“=.”
The maximum number of digits to be printed varies according to the type of barcode.
For codes, refer to the barcode table mentioned later.
