Creating a Series of Labels
You can automatically generate labels by creating a
series. You create a starting pattern, and then set
the increment and count for the series.
You can serialize any number or letter by selecting
the position to be incremented, such as the
number 2 in 123 or the letter B in ABC. For example,
when the 2 is selected in 123 and the increment
#=3, the resulting labels would print as 123, 153,
and 183.
Letters can be incremented from A to Z and a to z,
and numbers from 1 to 9. When the letter Z or the
number 9 is reached during serialization, a letter or
number is added to increase the increment. For
example, Az increments to Aaa, AZ increments to
BA, and A9 increments to A10.
Three methods of serialization are available: simple,
simultaneous, and advanced.
