Creating a Series of Labels

You can automatically generate labels by creating a series. You create a starting pattern, and then set the increment and count for the series.

You can serialize any number or letter by selecting the character to be incremented, such as the number 2 in 123 or the letter B in ABC. For example, when the 2 is selected in 123 and the increment is 3, the resulting labels would print as 123, 153, 183, and so on.

Letters can be incremented from A to Z and a to z, and numbers from 0 to 9. When the letter Z or the number 9 is reached during serialization, a letter or number is added to increase the increment. For example, Az increments to Aaa, AZ increments to BA, and A9 increments to A10.

To use serialization

1Enter the text for your label.

2Press .
