-A 10 drawer cabinet is viewed as one vertical stack of 10 Zones.
+A 10 drawer cabinet, with no cabinets stacked on top is viewed as one vertical stack of 10 Zones, Zone 1 at the top to Zone 10 at the bottom.

-A 5 drawer cabinet stacked on a 7 drawer cabinet is viewed as one vertical stack of 12 Zones.
+A 5 drawer cabinet stacked on a 7 drawer cabinet is viewed as one vertical stack of 12 Zones, Zone 1 at the top to Zone 12 at the bottom.
 {{promedia_12_drawer.png}}
+A 12 drawer cabinet (5 drawer stacked on a 7 drawer) placed next to a 10 drawer cabinet would be viewed as two vertical stacks and the Zones grouped into, for this example, Red Zones and Green Zones (color to visually distinguish Zone grouping).
+{{dual_columns.png}}
+If you have several groupings of drawers in different locations within your vault and don't want to use a different color (or other identifier) for each vertical stack, you can use an alternate labelling concept by using a different color for each grouping and label them as (using above image as an example) Red-1 (for the red stack) and Red-2 (for the green stack) as long as each vertical stack is unique and identifiable.  Using this format, in the first stack the first drawer would be Red-1-1, second drawer would be Red-1-2 etc.  The second stack of drawers would be Red-2-1 for the first drawer, Red-2-2 for the second drawer etc.
+===== Adding The Labels =====
+For this example we will use the 5 drawer stacked on the 7 drawer cabinet to illustrate how to label the ProMedia setup.
+See [[print_barcodes:zones|Printing Zone-ID's]]
+===== Drawer Labels =====
+Drawers are labelled from 1 to 12 using Zone-ID barcodes.
+{{promedia_full.png}}
+===== Row And Slot Labels =====
+Rows are labelled from 1 to 6 in each drawer.
+Slots are numbered from one to 18 in each row for each drawer.
+==== Alternative Label Formats ====
+Alternative labelling formats can be used depending on your personnel preferences and how many labels you want to apply.  All formats are essentially the same, each drawer still having rows numbered 1 to 6 and Slots numbered from 1 to 18 for each row. The main difference is the operator seeing Slot 17 in row 2 labelled, or judging where unlabelled Slot 17 is based off the labelled Slot 15.
