STAR-LINK™

Example

A. Displaying a text containing the word "Françoise"

If sending data by setting the PropertyMode to "text mode", it may occur that a

character different from "ç" will be displayed on the device screen. This is due to

the fact that the device uses an OEM set of characters, while the Windows

program uses the ANSI one. By setting the PropertyMode to "text mode with

OEM-ANSI character conversion for data to device only" it is possible to display

the desired character.

B. Receiving and displaying a text containing the word "Español"

If receiving data by setting the PropertyMode to "text mode", it may occur that a

character different from "ñ" will be displayed on the PC video. This is due to the

fact that the device uses an OEM set of characters, while the Windows program

uses the ANSI one. By setting the PropertyMode to "text mode with OEM-ANSI

character conversion for data from device to application only" it is possible to

display the desired character.

By using one of the application programs provided with STAR-Link™ (ex. Visual

Basic), it is possible to test the system behaviour.
