M210/M210-LAB User Manual 44
In the above example, the increment value of 2 is added to each previous sequence number.
Therefore, 1 + 2 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 + 2 = 7, 7 + 2 = 9. It cannot add 2 to sequence number 9 because that
would produce sequence number 11, which is higher than the end value of 10.
Note: The M210 Label Printer can only process simple serializations, as in the above two
examples. It can also process serializations using single or multiple letters.
Using Letters in Serialization
Sequencing letters occurs according to the letter’s position in the alphabet. Below is a chart
referencing alpha character positions in the English alphabet.
Example: Letter sequence:
Start Value: A
Increment: 3
End Value: M
Produces: A, D, G, J, M
Multi-Letter Serialization
You can serialize up to three letters at a time. When the right-most character in the Start Value
reaches its maximum value (Z), the character immediately to the left is incremented, and the right
character cycles back to its minimum value (A). It is important to understand how letter serialization
works as it can produce a very large amount of labels.
Example: Multiple Letter Serialization 1:
Start Value: AB
Increment: 1
End Value: BB
Produces: AB, AC, AD, AE......AZ, BA, BB
In the above example, 27 sequences are produced. Starting with AB, the right-most character runs the
entire alphabet until it reaches its maximum value (Z). When the end of the alphabet is reached, the
character immediately to the left increments one letter and the sequence starts again. This process
continues up to the End Value of BB.
