Numbering function (
d
+
5
)
The Numbering function can be used to print
many copies of the same text while increasing
certain characters (letters, numbers or barcode
data) after each label is printed. This type of
automatic incrementation is very useful when
printing serial number labels, production con-
trol labels or other labels requiring ascending
codes.
Letters and numbers increase as shown below:
0 " 1 " ...9 " 0 " ...
A " B " ...Z " A " ...
a " b " ...z " a " ...
A0 " A1 " ...A9 " B0 " ...
Spaces (shown as underlines _ in the exam-
ples below) can be used to adjust the space
between characters or to control the number of
digits that are printed:
_Z " AA " ...ZZ " _A " ...
_9 " 10 " ...99 " _0 " ...
1_9" 2_0 " ...9_9 " __0 " ...
To print labels using the Numbering func-
tion:
1 Rotate r until NUMBER is displayed, and
then press r (OR hold down d and
press 5). The message SET START
POINT appears.
2 Rotate r (OR press m, g, j or k)
until the first character that you wish to
include in the numbering field is flashing.
3 Press r (OR press n). The message SET
END POINT appears.
NOTE
To select the default setting (1), press the space
bar.
To change the setting in steps of 5, hold down
either m or g, and then release the key when
the desired setting is displayed.
To quit the Repeat printing function, press e
(OR hold down d and press 4).
NOTE
After printing with the Auto cut function set to 5, 6,
7 or 8, press f to feed the tape, then cut it.
NOTE
Only one numbering field can be selected from
any text.
If you include a non-alphanumeric character
such as a symbol in the numbering field, only
the letters and numbers in the numbering field
will be increased when the labels are printed,
or just one label will be printed if the field only
contains a non-alphanumeric character.
When a barcode is selected as the numbering
field, only the numbers in the barcode data are
increased.
NOTE
To quit the Numbering function, press
e
(OR
hold down
d
and press
5
).
NOTE
If a barcode was selected in step 2, this step is
skipped.
A numbering field must be located entirely
within one line of text of a single block.
A maximum of five characters can be selected
for the numbering field.
