(4) FNC4
An FNC4 converts data encoded by the code set A or B into a set of
extended ASCII-encoded data (128 added to each official ASCII code
value).
A single FN4 character converts only the subsequent data character into
the extended ASCII-encoded data.
A pair of FNC4 characters placed in successive positions converts all of
the subsequent data characters preceding the next pair of FNC4 charac-
ters or the stop character, into the extended ASCII-encoded data. If a sin-
gle FNC4 character is inserted in those data characters, however, it does
not convert the subsequent data character only.
An FNC4 character does not convert any of GS characters converted by
an FNC1 character, into the extended ASCII-encoded data.

Syntax:
H[:[mini.no.digits[-max.no.digits]][CD]
[startstop]
[,[mini.no.digits[-max.no.digits]][CD]
[startstop]]
[,[mini.no.digits[-max.no.digits]][CD]
[startstop]]]
where
mini.no.digits and max.no.digits are the minimum and maximum
numbers of digits for bar codes to be read by the BHT, respectively.
They should be a numeral from 1 to 99, excluding start/stop characters. They
should satisfy the following condition:
mini.no.digits ≤ max.no.digits
If both of mini.no.digits and max.no.digits are omitted, then the
default reading range is from the minimum number of digits specified in Sys-
tem Mode up to 99 digits.
If only
max.no.digits is omitted, only the number of digits specified by
mini.no.digits can be read.
CD is a check digit. Specifying a C to CD makes the Interpreter check bar
codes with MOD-10. The check digit is included in the number of digits.
startstop specifies the normal or short format of the start/stop characters.
Specify N for the normal format; specify S for the short format. If startstop
is omitted, start/stop characters can be read in either format.
