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
character 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 is 3, the resulting labels
would print as 123, 153, 183, and so on.
Letters can be incremented from A to Z and a to z, and
numbers from 0 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.
To use serialization
1 Enter the text for your label.
2 Press .
A box appears around the character where the
cursor was positioned.
3 Press and to move the cursor to the
