is not set correctly, the printer may not detect a GAP properly or report an
invalid >LOW STOCK< error. This value can be obtained by issue the ^D39
command as stated above.
6.3.4 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 6.3.2 for additional information regarding the use of the ^D75 command and
the serial number functions.
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:
^A
^D COMMAND
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: This is the value that the single
serial number functions is incremented or decremented. The ^Axx is the value
that specifies the step value used to increment or decrement.
X
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:
^A
^D COMMAND
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<CR>” instructs the
