Serializing Your Labels
You can print serialized labels numerically or
alphabetically. Numbers and letters can be
incremented from 1-99.
You can serialize any number or letter by placing
the cursor under the position to be incremented,
such as the number 2 in 12
3 or the letter B in ABC.
For example, with the cursor under the 2 in 12
3
and the increment #=3, the resulting labels would
print as 123, 133, and 143.
Figure 10
When the letter Z or the number 9 is reached
during serialization, a letter or number is added to
increase the increment. For example, Z increments
to AA and 9 increments to 10.
When a space is present in a string to be
serialized, only the numbers or letters after the
space are serialized.
To serialize your labels
1. Enter the text for your label.
2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor under the
letter or number to serialize.

label, choose +

copies of each label to print. See Printing Multiple
Copies on page 9 and Figure 11.
