Bar Codes

To use the repeat count parameter, enter RPT and

replace n with a numeric value ranging from 1 to

65,535 to specify the repeat count.

The default repeat count parameter is 1, which will

increment the field value each time it is printed.

RSTn

The optional incremental reset count parameter to

specify the number of times an incremented field is

printed (on one or more forms) before it is reset to the

starting value. A reset count is useful when printing a

hierarchy of fields where a low–level field generates a

sequence of numbers, is reset, and the next higher field

level is incremented (such as in a unit/box/carton

application).

To use the reset count parameter, enter RST and

replace n with a number ranging from 1 to 65,535 to

specify the reset count. The default reset count value

is 0.

STARTDATA

Defines the starting value of the incrementing field.

The maximum amount of STARTDATA characters

must be less than or equal to the number of characters

in the STEPMASK field. Characters allowed for

incrementing fields is based on the type of bar code;

refer to the individual bar code descriptions for

information on valid type and quantity of data

characters.

The STARTDATA must be enclosed within standard

printable character delimiters just as a standard bar

code data field is enclosed within delimiters.
