If any of these symbols are entered in the Type Position, the
printing will either increment or decrement numbers or
letters in the label position specified earlier in this field.
Information entered in the Data/Prompt Field in the next
step will tell the Printer the increment value being use.
When viewing the Print Label Screen, it will ask ‘Initial
Increment?’ or ‘Initial Decrement?’ The number entered at
this time will increment or decrement each time a label is
printed. The number of labels to be printed with the same
number before an increment or decrement occurs can be set
with the ALT-P command as described earlier. The default
value is 1.
• Press the ‘C’ Key to signify a comment. Any data entered in
the Data/Prompt Position will appear on the Print Label
Screen as a comment. This function is a useful way to give
the operator special instructions, such as how to load a
particular type of media for the labels to be printed.
Comment fields do not affect the printing of the label.
• Press the ‘R’ key to request a repeat of the previous field's
data.
• Press the ‘T’ key to print the time and date.

move to the Data/Prompt Position.

• If ‘D’ was selected in the preceding step, enter the desired
data. The Printer automatically computes how many
characters there are room for on the label width specified in
your ALT-P label width and/or label length settings. If there
is not enough room specified in the row and/or column
measurements, the screen will show the following error
message:
NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR FIELD DATA
