Body
Creating Serialized Data Using the Touch Screen
Serialization is alphanumeric, with numbers from 0 to 9, and letters A-Z.
Note: You can incorporate serialized data into a barcode.
Serialization consists of a Start Value, End Value, and Increment (Change by). 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 (Change by) 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 (Change by) of 4 would produce 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25.
To add a serial object:
Touch anywhere in the Editor, or if you are already in a label, select Add Object.
In the Add Object control panel, select Serial & Date/Time.
In the Serial & Date/Time dialog box, select either Serial Text or Serial Barcode, depending on what you want to serialize.
Note: A serialized barcode places the serialized data in barcode format on the label.
In the Serial dialog box, select the Starting value, and enter the starting value of the data to be serialized.
Select Change by, and enter the increment by which you want the serialized data to advance. You can use positive or negative values.
Select the Ending value: option box, then enter the ending value of the serialized data in the Ending value: data field.
OR
Select the Total number: option box, then enter the total number of labels you desire.
Note: You can either enter the ending value or the total number of labels desired. You can not use both. If you choose ending value, the system automatically calculates how many labels to print to accommodate the entire serialization. The total number of labels to be printed is reflected in the grayed out Total number field. If Total number is used, the serialization progresses until the total number of labels is reached.
Select Before serial, and enter the data that will display before the serialized data.
AND/OR
Select After serial, and enter the data that will display after the serialized data.
