5.7.1
Serial Number Commands
The following commands, ^D80 through ^D89, are used for the serial number function 
commands of the printer. The printer can increment or decrement any single serial number 
on the label by any amount. If the format contains more than one serial number, then all 
serial number fields can only increment or decrement by a value of one. Single and Multiple 
serial number commands cannot be used on the same format. Please note that the ^D57 
command clears most of the serial number commands. Therefore, all serial number 
commands should be placed after the ^D56 command or just prior to the ^D3 command. 
Refer to Section 5.6.1 for additional information regarding the use of the ^D75 command 
and the serial number functions.
