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 123 or the letter B in ABC.

For example, with the cursor under the 2 in 123

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.

3. Press

4. Enter the number of labels you wish to print and

press

to begin printing. Enter 1-99 for

numbers and for letters.

To print multiple copies of the same serialized

label, choose +

G

and enter the number of

copies of each label to print. See Printing Multiple

Copies on page 9 and Figure 11.
