Match Start Position is set for 2, only the 2nd through 7th characters
(from left to right) will be compared.
Definition:

of the master symbol when Match Start Position is set to 1 or greater.

Serial Cmd: < Kn matchcode type,sequential matching,match start position,

Default: 1
Options: 1 to 31
Usage: For example, with Wild Card character defined as the default asterisk,
defining CR*34 as the master symbol will result in matches for CR 134,
CR 234, but not CR2345. Entering the wild card at the end of the master
symbol as in CR* will result in matches for variable symbol lengths such
as CR 1, CR23, CR358, etc.
Definition: Wild Card character allows a user to define a wild card character as part
of the master symbol.
