Editing Labels on the Printer
Serialization (Sequential Data)
b. When finished with the barcode entry, press . You can add text or other elements to
the label as normal.
Edit Barcode Data
To edit barcode data:
1. Position the cursor on the barcode. The barcode mode automatically turns on.
2. Edit the barcode text.
The barcode mode automatically turns off when you move past the last character of the barcode, or
when you select OK and press .
Serialization (Sequential Data)
Serialization (or sequencing) automatically adds a series of sequential numbers or letters to the 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.
Sequences can be combined with other data on a label. Any data displayed on a label that includes a
sequence will be repeated on every label along with the sequential data.
How Serialization Work
Serialization is alphanumeric, with numbers from 0 to 9 and letters A-Z. Serialization can be simple or
linked, with a maximum of two sequences per label.
Note: You can incorporate serialized data into a barcode.
Serialization consists of a Start Value, End Value, and Increment. 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 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 of 4 would produce 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25.
Examples of Serialization
Simple Example
In a simple serialization, a sequence runs through its full range of numbers (0 to 9) or letters (A- Z), using
one number/letter for each label.
Example:
Start Value:1
End Value:10
