Barcode masks and label printing in AX2012 R3 warehouse management

I had a couple of questions related to barcoding:

1. How do I tell the system on the number of labels to be printed?
for example: I received 10 boxes of the same item and I need to print 10 labels or users inputs the number of labels required.

2. Is it possible to mask multiple fields(Data elements) Into a single barcode(2D Barcoding) in a label. If that is possible then does the scanning device have the capability to read it and fill out data on multiple fields using single barcode.

For example: Item number and Batch number.
