SEQUENCE NUMBER
This sub-menu allows the user to modify how a sequence number is used. The
user may control the number of digits, whether the sequence number counts UP
or DOWN, displayable leading zeros, etc.
(Remember when the MORE insignia is visible in the bottom right hand corner
of the parameter box, use the NEXT key to view all menu options.
COUNTER TYPE – The COUNTER TYPE set to PRODUCT sets the function of
this counter as a straight sequential type of counter, counting either up or down
and to predetermined limits if formatted.
The COUNTER TYPE has an alternate function as a LOT COUNTER. When
used as a lot counter this variable field object will continue to print the same
sequential number until the limit set in the LOT COUNTER OBJECT is reached.
For example the LOT COUNTER OBJECT is formatted for a count of 10, then
the same sequential number will be printed on 10 products before
incrementing/decrementing.
NUMBER OF DIGITS – Enter the number of digits desired.
COUNT DIRECTION – Determines whether the counter is an up or down
counter.
LEADING ZEROS – The user has the option, depending on the number of digits
selected to print or suppress leading zeros. For example a 3-digit counter could
print as 001 or print simply a 1.
STARTING COUNT – Enter the starting count. Upon reaching the UPPER LIMIT
(ending count) the counter would reset to this value
UPPER LIMIT – This defines the UPPER LIMIT (ending count) before counter
reset to START COUNT.
Pressing the RESET COUNT key will manually reset this COUNTER.
