(11) 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.
When CODE128 (without auto code selection) is used, the number of the start code
(code A, code B, and code C) digits is regarded as 2.

Letters and numerals for increment/decrement
For CODE39 (standard), CODE39 (full ASCII), NW-7, CODE93, CODE128, if a data
string other than numerals are included in the data, increment/decrement is
performed. If any code which does not exist in each bar code table is contained in
the data, increment/decrement is not performed.
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

INC/DEC +1 +1 +3 -3
1st label 00000 A0A0A 7A8/9 A2A0A

3rd label 00002 A0A2A 7A9/5 A1A4A
4th label 00003 A0A3A 7A9/8 A1A1A
5th label 00004 A0A4A 8A0/1 A0A8A
Example of increment/decrement of data including the special codes of CODE128
Increment/decrement calculation starts from the last digit in the data strings. When
the data string to be calculated is numeric, and the next (upper) digit is “>”, the data is
a special code (shown with underline below). The next digit is calculated without
incrementing/decrementing these two digits.
