Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields
The Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields command is a variation of the
standard IGP/PGL bar code commands. Use this command with the
appropriate parameters from the standard bar code command when automatic
incrementing of fixed bar code data fields is required.
The Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields command format is shown and
defined below. (Incremental command parameters are shown in boldface
type; standard bar code command parameters and optional nonincremental
parameters are shown in italics.)

STOP
I Identifies this bar code command as an Incremental
Bar Code command; enter I.
idir The optional increment direction parameter to specify
an increment (add) or decrement (subtract) to the data.
Enter a plus sign (+) or leave the field blank to
increment (the default). Enter a minus sign (–) to
decrement.
STEPMASK Defines the increment amount (step), number of
character positions in the data field, and provides a
mask to control the increment function on specific
parts of the data. Refer to “Incrementing Bar Code
Data” on page 5–121 for complete information on
STEPMASK parameter values.
RPTn The optional incremental repeat count parameter to
specify the number of times a particular field value
will repeat before it is incremented. A repeated field
value is useful when printing multiple rows/columns of
identical labels before increasing to the next value.
