Printing multiple copies with incremental characters

The Numbering function can be used to print several copies of
the same text while incrementing the values of certain
characters (letters, numbers or bar code data) after each label
is printed. This type of automatic incrementation is very
useful when printing serial number labels, production control
labels or other labels requiring ascending codes.
