Serial Number Data Source

l Serial file names may be specified in a database so that you can select which Serial file pertains to

which part number.

sections from the

Increment/Decrement data source. This information applies to Serial data sources as well.

Create a Serial Number File: Example

Assume that you are labeling cartons of Router Blades, and you have two types of customers to whom

you must ship the blades: Wholesalers and Retailers. Your wholesalers and retailers require two

completely different labels, but you want the product serial numbers (production lot number) to appear

sequentially, regardless of which label you are printing. Follow these steps:

1. Create a serial number file containing the router blade production lot number, call it ROUTER.

2. Design the wholesaler label and attach it to the ROUTER serial number.

3. Design the retail label and attach it to the ROUTER serial number.

You assign the same serial number file to each label and Loftware Label Manager begins each print run

with the next available value regardless of how many print runs occur and how many different labels

use this serial number.

Creating a Serial Number File

You should provide enough leading zeros when setting your serial number file up so that the

incrementing number increments through significant digit positions before resetting to zero. For example,

a starting number of 00 increments through 99 before wrapping back to 00. A starting value of 000

wraps at 999 and so on. You may trim the leading 0 using the L-Trim formula function on a non-

printing field that you have defined as incrementing.

Note: Using the L-Trim formula function may force the printer into the slower extended mode.

1. Select the field on a label that is attached to the Serial Number file.

2. Edit the Data Source; select the Serial-Number data source.

3. In the Serial File section, click New. The Serial Number File window opens.

4. Enter a File Name for the Serial Number file (for example FORD).

5. Tab to the Description field and type a brief description of the file.

6. Specify the Type, Mode, Custom Sequence (if applicable) and By Value. These attributes are the

same for the Incr/Decr fields.

7. Set the Length of the serial number.

8. Enter a Start Value, and then click OK.

Note: If you need to create more than one Serial File, follow this procedure multiple times.
