18.5 Configure counter parameters for a step & repeat object
If you use a counter in your step & repeat object, you can configure parameters for the
counter. The settings apply to the counters used in the selected object group.
To use a counter, first configure the parameters for the counter in the “Function settings” tab.
Then you must insert the functional character of your specified counter in the text of your
marking object (character object or bar code/2D code object).
• To edit the parameters of an object group, select the object group in the object list.
The parameters are displayed in the category below the object list.
• “Count individually”:
Select “ON” to specify that the counter value is updated for each individual step.
If you set “OFF”, the steps are not counted individually. All steps have the same counter
value as shown in the illustration.

The following parameters become available if “ON” is set for “Count individually”.
• “Count “Marking OFF””:
Select the check box to set that the counter value is updated for steps that are to be
skipped. If you deselect the check box, the counter value is not updated (not counted) for
steps that are to be skipped.
In the “Step & repeat fine adjustment” dialog, you can set “Marking OFF” for “Item” to skip
the marking of a single step, row, column or a range of steps.
