Serial Object Elements
Serialization lets you create labels that contain number or letter sequences that print as
multiple labels at print time.
Serialization (or sequencing) automatically adds a series of sequential numbers or letters to the
printed labels. The Serial function consecutively places the next number or letter in the defined
sequence on individual labels. The number of labels created is defined by the sequence values
you enter. You can view the serialized labels before they print through the Print Preview
function. (See “Print Preview” on page 91 for more information.)
Serialization can be combined with other data on a label. Any data displayed on a label that
includes serialization will be repeated on every label along with the serial data.
How Serialization Works
Serialization is alphanumeric, with numbers from 0 to 9, and letters A-Z.
Note: You can incorporate serialized data into a barcode.
Serialization consists of a Start Value, End Value, and Increment (Change by). 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 (Change by) 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 (Change by) of 4 would produce 1, 5, 9,
13, 17, 21, 25.
To add a serial object:
1. Touch anywhere in the Editor.
OR
If you are already in a label, touch Add Object .
2. In the Add Object control panel, touch Serial & Date/Time .
