Each time you add a label, 123 Print assigns a sequence number to the
label. This system assigned number is displayed in the Labels List
window in the left most column called #. This number determines the
sequence order in which the labels are displayed on the Select Label
Screen (see
Section 3.2.2 – Select Label Screen ).
When you Add a label, the Label Properties screen is displayed as
shown here
