 key to accept the changes and to return to the home screen.   

 

 

Advanced Serialization Options

 

The serialization tool includes several advanced options for customizing labels.  
The advanced serialization options are 

Print As

 and 

Place On

.   

 

1. The

 Print As

 option determines whether the serialization will print as text or 

as a bar code on the labels.  The default setting will print as text.  The bar 
code settings can be changed in the setup menu.  Printing a serialization as 
a bar code is useful for asset tracking, component manufacturing, and quality 
control.    

 
2. The 

Place On

 option determines whether the serialization will print on 

consecutive labels or on consecutive pages of the same label.  The default 
setting will print on labels.   

 
 

Editing a Serialization

 

To edit a serialization on the home screen, move the cursor directly to the left of 
the serialization so that the icon is highlighted.  Press the SHIFT key and then 
press the INSERT key.  Follow the steps listed above for creating a serialization.
