CREATING SERIALIZATIONS
The Serialization Tool
The serialization tool is used to automatically number labels in a sequence. The
sequence can be either numeric (1 to 999) or alphabetic (A to ZZZ). A serialization
is defined by a start value, an end value, and a step value.
To correctly define a serialization, the end value must be larger than the start value
and the start and end values must be both numeric or both alphabetic. (Numbers
and letters cannot be used together when defining a particular serialization.)
The step value can be any number between 1 and 99.
Serializations can be combined with other label items, such as text, boxes, lines,
symbols, etc. For example, to create a prefix or a suffix to a serialization, enter text
immediately before or after the serialization on a line.
Serializations can be printed as text or as bar codes on a label.
