Printer Commands Chapter 5
5-38 438 Operator’s Manual - 880052-0100
The following two commands are valid for both single and multiple serial number functions:
^A
^D COMMAND
80 Clears Commands 86, 88, 89.
81 Disable Serial Number Function: This command disables both single and
multiple serial number functions.
The next three commands deal with the single serial number functions:
XX
84 Load Text String Number to Increment/Decrement: Instructs the printer
which text string number to increment or decrement. The ^Axx value
determines which of the text strings will be used for incrementing or
decrementing.
XX 85 Load Increment/Decrement Step Value: The single serial number functions
increment or decrement by this value. ^Axx is the amount of increment or
decrement. Fields that instructs the printer to decrement beyond 0 will be set
to 0.
XX 86 Single Serial Number Status:
0 Disable increment and decrement
1 Enable increment: The serial number will be incremented by the step value
specified by the ^D85 command.
2 Enable decrement: The serial number will be decremented by the step value
specified by the ^D85 command.
The next three commands determine the status of multiple serial numbers:
XX
87 Load Field Number to Clear Increment/Decrement: This command is used
to clear the status of one or more fields that are using the serial number
increment/decrement function. Example: A “^A1^D87” instructs the
printer to clear the increment/decrement function of text string number 1 or the
first text string.
XX
88 Load Field Number to Increment by 1: The ^Axx specifies which field to
increment by one.
XX 89 Load Field Number to Decrement by 1: The ^Axx specifies which text string
field that will be decremented by one. The printer will not decrement fields
beyond 0. Fields that instructs the printer to decrement beyond 0 will be set to
0.
A sample format using the single serial number function:
^D57
1,575,609,,25,35,0,1,285,0,0
1,280,300,2,1,5
^D56
^A2^D86
