CREATING SERIALIZATIONS
17
The Serialization Tool
The serialization tool is used to automatically number labels in a sequence. The
sequence can be either numeric (1 to 999) or alphabetic (A to ZZZ). A serialization
is defined by a start value, an end value, and a step value.
To correctly define a serialization, the end value must be larger than the start value
and
the start and end values must be both numeric or both alphabetic. (Numbers
and letters cannot be used together when defining a particular serialization.)
The step value can be any number between 1 and 99.
Serializations can be combined with other label items, such as text, boxes, lines,
symbols, etc. For example, to create a prefix or a suffix to a serialization, enter text
immediately before or after the serialization on a line.
Serializations can be printed as text or as bar codes on a label.
Creating a Serialization
The serialization tool should be accessed from the home screen. To access the
serialization tool:
1. Press the INSERT key to enter the tools menu.
2. Press the directional arrows to highlight the serialization tool.
3. Press the
key to select the serialization tool.
4. Use the up or down directional arrow keys to select the serialization
parameters:
Start, End,
or
Increment
.
5. Use the right or left directional arrow keys to set the values for
Start, End,
or
Increment.
NOTE:
Pressing the right directional arrow key will move the cursor to the
current value of the selected parameter. For a new serialization,
the start and end values will display an asterisk *. After entering
a value, pressing
will automatically move the cursor to the
next parameter.
6. Repeat step 5 for each parameter.
7. Press the
key to accept the changes and to return to the home screen.
Otherwise, press the DEL key to return to Tools menu without accepting
changes.
8. On the home screen, the serialization tool icon
will appear at the position
of the cursor.
