Bar Codes 5–120
Incremental Bar Code Fields
With the incremental bar code fields feature, you can update bar code (and
alphanumeric) data fields in a numeric or alphabetical manner automatically
with just one set of data sent from the host computer. You can print up to
65,535 forms with incremental fields automatically updated.
NOTE: Throughout the discussion of incremental fields, the term
“increment” or “incremental” means the field is automatically
updated by a specified amount (or increment). You can actually
increment the field by a positive amount (added) or a negative
amount (subtracted) as specified within the command.
You can use bar code incremental fields with fixed (static) data input as part
of the Create Form Mode, or with dynamic data supplied in the Execute
Form Mode. New formats and parameters are required in the bar code
commands for static and dynamic incremental fields.
In addition, the Execute Form command requires a new format and
parameters when you use incremental fields with dynamic data. You can
increment or decrement incremental fields, repeat at specified intervals
before updating, and reset to the starting value after a specified number of
increments.
