Message Operations

7–19

Entering the Increment Value

The increment value specifies the spacing (number of messages) between
messages that are copied.

To enter an increment value for the copy operation, highlight Increment,
then press [Enter]. A numeric field opens to the right.

Enter an increment value, then press [Enter]. The default value of 0 retains
the original spacing.

Note: The Increment value has no affect on a single message copy. If
copying a single message, you can move directly to Start Copying.

For example, to copy messages 1, 2, and 3 using a Starting Message
Location
of 10 and an Increment of 0 (to retain original spacing):

Message 1 is copied to Message 10
Message 2 is copied to Message 11
Message 3 is copied to Message 12

If copying messages 1, 3, 7 using a Starting Message Location of 10 and an
Increment of 0 (to retain original spacing):

Message 1 is copied to Message 10
Message 3 is copied to Message 12
Message 7 is copied to Message 16

If copying messages 1, 2, and 3 using a Starting Message Location of 10 and
an Increment of 2:

Message 1 is copied to Message 10
Message 2 is copied to Message 12
Message 3 is copied to Message 14

After entering an increment value and pressing [Enter], the highlight moves
to Start Copying.
