instructions for generating serialized, legend list, terminal block, and barcode labels.
Serialized Labels
This section discusses making serialized labels with the TLS2200
TM
printer.
Serialization
Legends you create with the TLS2200 printer can be serialized both numerically and
alphabetically. Serializing characters in a legend results in a series of markers that increment
by one number and/or one letter.
The TLS2200 printer allows you to create two different types of serialization patterns:
Pattern Description
Standard Defaults serial number scheme to decimal (0-9) or alpha (A-Z, a-z) based on
character type entered.
Octal Defaults the serial number scheme to octal (Base 8) 0-7 numeric serialization.
Your serialization type defaults to either standard or octal based on the selection you
choose from the Setup Menu. For instructions on how to set the serial default, refer to The
Setup Menu section beginning on page 13.
To create labels containing serialized data, follow the instructions below:
1. Enter the text to be serialized on the appropriate legend line.
2. Use the <
=
> key to position the cursor over the last character in the legend to be
serialized.
3. Press + on the keypad. The screen prompts you to enter the
number of times to increment the serial number with “No. to Serial?”.
4. Enter the number of times to increment the serial number and press . The
screen prompts you to enter the number of copies of each number to print with “No.
of Copies?”
5. Enter the number of copies to print and press either or . Your
serialized markers are printed.
General Guidelines for Serializing
Use the following guidelines for serializing:
•
Both lowercase and uppercase characters can be serialized.
•
Serialized characters can be incremented only (cannot decrement).
