[NUM1][NUM2] Sequence

Sequential [NUM1] is the outer loop and will add one every time [NUM2] (inner loop) have looped through all it's digits.

[NUM1] Start

   [NUM2] Start

    .

    .

    .

   [NUM2] Stop

[NUM1] Stop

So if [NUM1] Start = 1 and [NUM1] Stop = 3 and [NUM2] Start = 7 and [NUM2] Stop = 9 then the loops will look as this.

I have selected a Code 39 as it supports Digits and upper case letters.

The Clear Barcode List have been checked, so the Barcode List will be cleared (all items deleted), so please save the Barcode List before clicking on the Make Sequential button. Right click menu is available.

[NUM1][NUM2] Sequence is set to [NUM1][NUM2], picture above.

First loop [NUM1] = 1

17

18

19

Second loop [NUM1] = 2

27

28

29

Third loop [NUM1] = 3

37

38

39

As you can see above [NUM1] only adds one to the [NUM1] sequence when [NUM2] have looped through all it's digits.

Sequential UPC-A

[NUM1] and [NUM2] can be used in any combination. Let's make a UPC-A, UPC-A uses 12 digits (we only need to fill in 11 digits as the last digit is the checksum and will be added automatically).

Fill in 69999 in Start [NUM1] and 70000 in Stop [NUM1].

Fill in 1 in [NUM2] Start and 100 in [NUM2] Stop. Also you must check the Add leading Zeros to Start or it will not work as you would end up with too few digits.

Select the UPC-A as we are going to make a UPC-A. As you can see above only Digits are allowed.

As [NUM1] and [NUM2] only have a total of 8 digits we will need to add a zeros, in front of [NUM1] and also two zeros in front of [NUM2], now we have 11 digits as needed, the 12th digit (checksum) will be added automatically. The Clear Barcode List have been checked, so the Barcode List will be cleared (all items deleted), so please save the Barcode List before clicking on the Make Sequential button. Right click menu is available.

The result shown in the Barcode List.  The 12th digit (checksum) will be added automatically, just click in the Barcode List and the Barcode Area will show the checksum in the barcode.

How to use Sequence in another way.

Fill in 7000 in Start and 7001 in Stop.

Fill in 100 in Start and 120 in Stop.

Select the UPC-A as we are going to make a UPC-A. As you can see above only Digits are allowed.

As [NUM1] and [NUM2] only have a total of 7 digits we will need to add some zeros (other digits will also work). I have filled in two zeros in front of the [NUM1] and also two zeros in front of the [NUM2] and now we have 11 digits as needed. The Clear Barcode List have been checked, so the Barcode List will be cleared (all items deleted), so please save the Barcode List before clicking on the Make Sequential button. Right click menu is available.

Lets make a UPC-A showing how to use the Add leading Zeros to Start.

Fill in 1 in [NUM1] Start and 120 in [NUM1] Stop. Also you must check the Add leading Zeros to Start or it will not work as you would end up with too few digits.

Fill in 1 in [NUM2] Start and 100 in [NUM2] Stop. Also you must check the Add leading Zeros to Start or it will not work as you would end up with too few digits.

Select the UPC-A as we are going to make a UPC-A. As you can see above only Digits are allowed.

As [NUM1] and [NUM2] only have a total of 6 digits we will need to add some zeros (any other digit will also work). I have filled in two zeros in front of the [NUM1] and also two zeros in front of the [NUM2] and now we have 11 digits as needed. The Clear Barcode List have been checked, so the Barcode List will be cleared (all items deleted), so please save the Barcode List before clicking on the Make Sequential button. Right click menu is available.

The result shown in the Barcode List. Please note that the Barcode List contains 12000 items and you are restricted to a Max. of 32000 items.

Control characters in [NUM1][NUM2] Sequence

When using a barcode that supports Control Characters, Code 128, you will be able to use these Control Characters as well. You will need to fill in the brackets [ and ] as start and stop of the control character, e.g. [LF]. If the control character isn't supported by the barcode it will be used as text in the Barcode List.

I have filled in 1 in [NUM1] Start and 10 in [NUM1] Stop and also checked the Add Leading Zeros to Start.

I have filled in 1 in [NUM2] Start and 10 in [NUM2] Stop and also checked the Add Leading Zeros to Start.

I have selected Code 128 in Select Barcode (in the Sequential TAB) and filled in the [NUM1][NUM2] Sequence, [NUM2]text[NUM1][LF], the [LF] is the control. I have also checked Clear Barcode List before adding sequential. Click on the Make Sequential to add the sequence to the Barcode List. As you can see I have used [NUM2] as the first Sequence and [NUM1]second. The Clear Barcode List have been checked, so the Barcode List will be cleared (all items deleted), so please save the Barcode List before clicking on the Make Sequential button. Right click menu is available.

This is only a small part of the Barcode List.

When I click on the first item in the Barcode List the [LF] will be converted to the character that represent the [LF] as Barcode Image Maker Pro needs the ASCII to be able to make the Code 128.

Please Note If you get a '(sequential) Error: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow Error Code: 6' read this

The problem is that you fill in all the digits for the barcode into Start and Stop, you should only fill in the digits that is used for counting and all other digits should be filled in, in the [NUM1][NUM2] Sequence e.g.

You want to make the sequence 10000000010 to 10000000099. As you can see most of the digits are the same 10000000010 to 10000000099, so here is how you should do it.

[NUM1]

Start: 10

Stop: 99

Step: 1

In [NUM1][NUM2] Sequence

100000000[NUM1]

Click on the Make Sequential button and now you will not get the Error Code 6
