* The number of items has no physical limit. However, there may be performance issues when excessively high numbers are reached. Although an exact number cannot be determined, 50,000 + items has been demonstrated to have no affect on system performance. Results will depend upon the capabilities of the system hardware. Item numbers above 99,999 may cause problems with bar code size on smaller tag templates.
