Serializing Your Labels You can print a series of labels with the last number incremented by one number. The number of labels serialized depends upon the number of copies you selected to print. Only the last series of numbers that follows any letter, space, or punctuation will be serialized. For example, abc123 will print as abc123, abc124, abc125; and 123-998 will print as 123-998, 123-999, 123-1000, and so on. To serialize your labels 1. Enter the text for your label. 2. Select the number of labels to print as described in Printing Multiple Copies on page 10. 3. Select + G. Printing a Fixed-Length Label Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text. You can specify a fixed length for a label in 2 mm (0.1") increments between 40 mm (1.5") and 400 mm (15.0"). The preset fixed length is 100 mm (4.0").

Printing Barcode Labels The labelmaker can print barcodes in six standard formats: UPC A, UPC E, EAN8, EAN13, CODE-39, and CODE-128. You can only print a barcode on 19 mm (3/4") labels; and you can only print one barcode per label. The barcode prints horizontally along the label with the text in small print underneath the barcode. You can optionally add text before and after the barcode. Or, you can add text above or below the barcode by creating a two-line label. See Creating Multi-Line Labels on page 6. Four of the standard barcodes require a fixed number of characters to generate the barcode: EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, and UPC-E. CODE-39 and CODE-128 barcodes allow a variable number of characters to be entered. To create a barcode 1. Enter the text you wish to appear before the barcode on the label. (Optional) 2. Press .
