(10) 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 the font type is r, 51, 52, 53, 54, or 55, the
incrementing/decrementing cannot be designated. (If it is designated, it is ignored, and
the printer operates as if there was no designation.)

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.

The leading zero(s) in a data row is replaced by a space(s) according to the designated
number of digits. However, if the number of digits to be suppressed is greater than the
data row, the data row will be drawn without zero suppression. Where the data row
exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be drawn. When the
font type is r, 51, 52, 53, 54 or 55, zero suppression is not designated. If it is designated,
it is ignored, and the printer operates as if there was no designation.
