NUMBERING FUNCTION

This function can be used to print many copies of the same text while increasing certain char-
acters (letters, numbers or barcode data) after each label is printed. This type of automatic
incrementation is very useful when printing serial number labels, production control labels or
other labels requiring ascending codes.
Letters and numbers increase as shown below:

Spaces (shown as underlines “_” in the examples below) can be used to adjust the space
between characters or to control the number of digits that are printed:

Only one numbering field can be selected from any text.
If you include a non-alphanumeric character such as a symbol in the numbering field,
only the letters and numbers in the numbering field will be increased when the labels
are printed, or just one label will be printed if the field only contains a non-alphanu-
meric character.
