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.
