Increment/decrement
Printing is performed while the data is incremented or decremented every 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.

Zero(s) in a data row is replaced with a space(s) from the upper digits, according to the
designated number of digits. However, if the number of digits after zero suppression is
greater than the data row, the data row will be drawn without performing zero suppression.
Where the data row exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be
drawn.

Alignment
If characters are not placed on one line when justification is designated, the width is
calculated automatically. When the width is less than the limit value (2 mm) for the
outline font, that field will not be drawn. (The same previous field will not be drawn.)
