Printing text with sequential number (Numbering print)
Assume that you want to produce the following tubes.
Serial characters can be set in only one place on a page.
![Figure 1 Example: Pump Room 1 - 10](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/fig_1_example.jpg)
The portion of the character data consisting of number from 1 to 10 is incremented or decremented by 1 each time it is printed, and is called the number portion. The remaining portion of the character data is called the common portion. (Fig. 2)
![Figure 2 Example: Portions of the character data shown](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/fig_2_example.jpg)
To print tubes that contain a number portion such as those shown in Fig. 1, it is not necessary to explicitly create ten pages with character data ranging from Pump Room 1 to Pump Room 10 (as shown in Fig. 3). Instead, you need only create one page of character data consisting of a common portion and a number portion as shown in Fig. 4, then print that page.
![Figures 3 and 4, showing sequential printing results and the portions of text, respectively](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/fig_3_and_4_example.jpg)
ex. Produce the tubes shown in Fig. 1.
-
Enter Pump Room.

|
-
Press or to select Decimal, then press [Enter].
In addition to decimal numbering, you can also specify hexidecimal or alphabetical numbering.
If you accidentally enter an incorrect number, press [Back Space] to delete the number and then enter the correct one.

-
Press or to select Start value, then enter 1.
Numbering in descending order
For example, if you enter 10 as the start value and 5 as the end value, you can set up numbering in descending order (10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5).

![Decimal numbering setting display, 1 entered as the Start value](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/decimal_numbering_setting_display_start_value_1.jpg)

-
Press or to select End value, then enter 10.

![Decimal numbering setting display, 10 entered as the End value](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/decimal_numbering_setting_display_end_value_10.jpg)

-
Press [Enter].

|
-
Press or to select None, then press [Enter].
Numbering can only be set in one location per page. To cancel numbering, use the [Back Space] key to delete the number portion.
|
![Number portion displayed with N](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/number_portion_displayed_NN.jpg)
The number portion is displayed with an N.
|
-
Start printing.

Printing Two or More Pages
When there are two or more pages with data and one or more of them are blank due to the deletion of text, the blank pages are fed idly (space characters are printed).
Numbering print can be used together with continuous print.
ex. Continuous print set to 2 and numbering print set for decimal values from 1 to 8.
![Continuous pring, decimal values 1 to 8](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/continuous_printing_1-to-8.jpg)
Various types of numbering print
The following different types of numbering print are possible.
For decimal numbering: Select Decimal.
![Decimal numbering example](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/decimal_numbering_example.jpg)
For hexadecimal numbering: Select Hexidecimal.
![Hexidecimal numbering example](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/hexidecimal_numbering_example.jpg)
For alphabetical numbering: Select A to Z or a to z.
![Alphabetical numbering example](/library/CANON/CITS_TECH_SUPPORT/Printers/Mk%20Series/Mk2600/Sequential%20Printing/alphabetical_numbering_example.jpg)
Padding character
For example, if the numbers in the number portion run from 8 to 12, the number of digits needed for 8 and 9 differs from the number of digits needed for 10 through 12. In this case, it is possible to insert either a 0 or a space in front of the 8 and 9 so that the number of digits is the same as for 10 through 12. This function is called Padding character. Note that the padding character setting display does not appear if all of the numbers in the number portion have the same number of digits or if alphabet was selected for numbering.
When Padding character is off

When Padding character is on
