How Serialization Work; Examples Of Serialization; Simple Example; Simple Alphanumeric Example - Brady M710 User Manual

Sequences can be combined with other data on a label. Any data displayed on a label that includes a
sequence will be repeated on every label along with the sequential data.

How Serialization Work

Serialization is alphanumeric, with numbers from 0 to 9 and letters A-Z. Serialization can be simple or
linked, with a maximum of two sequences per label.
Note: You can incorporate serialized data into a barcode.
Serialization consists of a Start Value, End Value, and Increment. The Start Value is the number,
letter, or combination of numbers and letters that begin the serialization sequence. The End Value is
the termination point of the sequence.
The Increment is the value that is added to the previous number in the sequence to produce the next
sequence number. (You cannot have an increment value of 0.) For instance, a start value of 1, an end
value of 25, and an increment of 4 would produce 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25.

Examples of Serialization

Simple Example

In a simple serialization, a sequence runs through its full range of numbers (0 to 9) or letters (A- Z), using
one number/letter for each label.
Example:
Start Value:1
End Value:10
Increment:1
Produces:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Simple Alphanumeric Example

You can combine letters and numbers in a single serialization. When the right-most character in the
Start Value reaches its maximum value (9, Z), the character immediately to the left is incremented, and
the right character cycles back to its minimum value (0, A)
Example:
Start Value:A1
End Value:D4
Increment:1
Produces:A1...A9, B0...B9, C0...C9, D0...D4

Advanced, Independent Example

In a multi-sequence serialization, where the second set of values is NOT dependent on the first set
(that is, the Linked box is NOT checked), the two sequences increment sequentially, independent of
each other.
Example: Two sequences that increment independently:
