Sequential Barcode Feature

    The advanced Sequential Barcode functionality defines the sequence in which barcode or text objects are printed or exported. You can create sequences in two modes.

    When using Counter sequences, the iBarcoder creates the next data string automatically, constructing it from user defined prefix, starting number and postfix parts, and the increment value. In the File mode a user needs to browse to a file that contains a set of data strings.
