NUMBERING FUNCTION
This function can be used to print many copies of the same text while increasing certain char-
acters (letters, numbers or barcode data) after each label is printed. This type of automatic
incrementation is very useful when printing serial number labels, production control labels or
other labels requiring ascending codes.
Letters and numbers increase as shown below:

between characters or to control the number of digits that are printed:
