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.
When the print data including start/stop codes are sent, the start/stop codes are also
counted as a digit each.

Data string to be printed
Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol
“=.”
The maximum number of digits to be printed varies according to the type of barcode.
For codes, refer to the barcode table mentioned later.
