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.

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 increments
between 40 mm and 400 mm. The preset fixed length is
100 mm. Any change you make to the fixed-length setting
remains in effect until you change it.
To set the label length

After you print the label, you must reset the fixed-length label
setting to OFF; otherwise, all your subsequent labels will print
with this fixed length.
Adding Barcodes to Labels
The label maker can print barcodes in six standard formats:
UPCA, UPCE, EAN8, EAN13, CODE39, and CODE128.
You can print a barcode on 19 mm and 24 mm label tape; and
you can print only 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 10.
Four of the standard barcodes require a fixed number of
characters to generate the barcode: EAN8, EAN13, UPCA, and
UPCE. CODE39 and CODE128 barcodes allow a variable number
of characters to be entered.
