(9) Increment/decrement
Printing is performed while the data is incremented or decremented each time a label is
issued. Where the data row exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row
will not be drawn.

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

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.
(11) Alignment
If characters are not placed on one line when equal space is designated, the width is
calculated automatically. When the width is less than the limit value (2 mm) for the
outline font, the field is not drawn. (The same previous field is not drawn.)
(12) Data string to be printed
Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol
“=.” Up to 255 digits can be printed. When the number of digits exceeds the maximum
value, the excessive data will be discarded. For the character code table, refer to
chapter 12 “CHARACTER CODE TABLE”.
