5.3.5 SERIAL NUMBER COMMANDS
The following commands, ^D80 through ^D89, refer to the serial number function of the printer.
The printer can increment or decrement any single serial number on the label by any amount.
However, if there is more than one serial number on the label, it can only increment or
decrement those serial numbers by one. Single and multiple serial commands cannot be
implemented on the same label.
The following two commands are valid for both serial number functions:
^A ^D Command
80 Clears Commands 86, 88, 89.
81 Disable Serial Number Function: Will disable either single or multiple serial
number commands.
The next three commands deal with single serial number functions:
XX 84 Load Text String Number to increment/decrement: Tells the printer which
text string number to increment or decrement. See section 4.4 on text string
numbers. The ^A value states which string is adjusted.
XX 85 Load increment/decrement step value: This is the value that the single serial
number is incremented or decremented. ^A specifies the step value.
86 Single Serial Number Status:
0 Disable increment and decrement.
1 Enable increment. The serial number will be incremented by the value from ^D85.
2 Enable Decrement. The serial number will be decremented by the value from
^D85.
The next three commands determine the status of multiple serial numbers:
XX 87 Load Field Number to Clear Increment/Decrement status: Clear the status of
one or more serial numbers with this command. Example: ^A1^D87 will
command the printer not to increment/decrement field number one anymore.
XX 88 Load Field Number to Increment by 1: ^A specifies which field.
XX 89 Load Field Number to Decrement by 1 : ^A specifies which field.
