Serial Number Data Source

If Serial Numbers are an integral part of your company’s operation, please read the following:

Most thermal transfer printers have the capability of serializing data in the printer’s firmware. This

allows the printers to print much faster than having to send a different label request (with the

incremented value) each time a field has to be incremented. The Loftware Label Manager Design mode

allows you to set up many serial number schemes. For example, the serialization scheme may be

alphanumeric, or may be embedded in a formula. The printing subsystem evaluates the nature of your

serial number request to see if the printer can handle it internally. If the answer is yes, the job is sent to

the printer and the printer is told to increment between labels. This scenario is called Native Mode. If it

is determined that the printer is not able to handle the request, the printing subsystem must perform the

incrementing for the printer and send the new data for each label. This is called Extended Mode and is

significantly slower than Native Mode.

The Serial Number option is similar to the Increment/Decrement option, but the serial number offers

these additional features:

l Serial numbers are stored in files and remembered from one print session to another.

l Serial numbers when used in conjunction with the LPS are never repeated; however, if a job does

not print or is restarted, the serial numbers that did not print are skipped.

Example

Serial number starting at 000. If 50 labels are printed and the job is restarted after 25 labels, the LPS

restarts printing with serial number 076.

l Serial numbers can be attached to more than one label, i.e., several labels can share a common

sequence.

l Serial numbers can be local; specific to the computer that is being used to print labels or shared by

multiple users on a network.
