Option 60 (Incrementing/Decrementing Fields)
You may have an application, such as serial numbers, in which you need a
numeric field to increment (increase in value) or decrement (decrease in
value) on successive tickets within a single batch. Incrementing or
decrementing can be applied to numeric data only. If you have a field that
includes letters and digits, apply incrementing or decrementing to only the
portion of the field that contains digits. Do not usewithOption42 (price
field).

R5. l pos Leftmost position in inc/dec portion of field. If this value is not entered, the
default value 1 is used. Range: 0 - 2710.
R6. r pos Rightmost position in inc/dec portion of field. If this value is not used, the

Example R,60,I,5,1,6 p
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.
Fixing the First Number in the Incrementing Sequence
There are two ways to enter the first number in the incrementing sequence.
You can use batch data or use Option 1 to define the first number as a fixed
character. The first number in the sequence must contain the same amount
of digits as the highest number to be counted. For example, to count the
numbers 1 to 999, the first number in the sequence must be entered as 001.
