^SN — Serialization
Plain English
Automatically increments a number across multiple labels. If you're printing 100 labels with sequential serial numbers, you don't need to send 100 separate labels — just one with ^SN and ^PQ.
When to use
When printing batches of labels with sequential numbers (serial numbers, shelf labels, tickets).
