• Increment - This is the value that gets added to the serial number after
each successful print cycle. This field can contain any integer number,
either positive or negative.
If a negative number is specified to the Increment field, then the serial num-
ber will decrement after each successful print cycle. In this case, when the
number gets smaller than the lower limit value, then the value rolls over to
the upper limit value.
Note that the increment values for the linked serial number do not have to
have the same magnitude or sign.
To add a serial number field to your cassette layout, you must include the
Serial Number Flag. This is a percent sign (%) followed by the number of
digits in the number, followed by the letter S, followed by an optional desig-
nator for the serial number (1-4).
Example:
%4S2 - Four-digit serial number created from Serial Number field #2.
%6S2 - Six-digit serial number created from Serial Number field #1.
%9S3 - Nine-digit serial number created from Serial Number field #3.
%2S4 - Two-digit serial number created from Serial Number field #4.
Note that if you do not indicate which field to use, it assumes
field #1.
Example:
%4S creates a four-digit number in Serial Number field #1.
Method 2 - Alpha / Numeric Sequencing
This method is used when you want to sequence a field that contains letters
as well as numbers. To enable this feature, you must check the "Auto Se-
quence the Text" box in the Text Field Editor for the field you want to se-
quence.
When the "Auto Sequence the Text" box is checked, three additional selec-
tions will be shown for the field:
Sequence
• Increment - The text sequence increases numerically / alphabetically.
• Decrement - The text sequence decreases.
