Issue / Question
Decrementing order of a recalled format with ^SN is not correct.
The values are out of order when counting down
Issue Details
When recalling a ZPL format containing a ^SN command with a decrementing value the order is not correct.
Applicable To
ZPL compatible printers - XML recall functionality in regards to the serialization command ^SNv,n,z
Resolution / Answer
Parameter "n" needs to match the number of digits that can decrement. (ZPL command format: ^SNv,n,z) Read More>>
This means that when you have a parameter "v" value of 10 you need to decrement with -01
Another example would be if you have a parameter "v" value of 1000 you would need to use -0001 for parameter "n"
Example:
Send this ZPL script to the printer to store it in R: memory:
^XA^DFR:TEST.ZPL
^FO50,50^A0,50,50^FN1^FD^SNIncrement,-1,Y,^FS
^XZ
Recall the template using XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "label.dtd">
<labels _JOBNAME="J1" _PRINTERNAME="" _QUANTITY="10" _FORMAT="TEST.ZPL">
<label>
<variable name="Increment">10</variable>
</label>
</labels>
The result would be:
10 - 19 -18 -17 -16- 15 -14 -13- 12 - 11
However if ^SN would be used in this manner :
^XA^DFR:TEST.ZPL
^FO50,50^A0,50,50^FN1^FD^SNIncrement,-01,Y,^FS
^XZ
The result would be:
10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3- 2 - 1
