NASC, cont.
Remarks, cont. A NASC statement will have the following consequences:
Text printing:
Text on labels etc. will be printed according to the selected character set.
However, parts of the label, that already has been processed and stored in
the print buffer before the NASC statement is executed, will not be affected.
This implies that labels may be multi-lingual.
LCD Display:
New messages in the display will be affected by a NASC statement.
However, a message that is already displayed will not be updated
automatically. The display is, for all practical reasons, able to show
all printable characters. In the Setup Mode, all characters are mapped
according to US-ASCII standard.
Communication:
Data transmitted via any of the communication channels will not be affected
as the data is defi ned as ASCII values, not as alphanumeric characters. The
active character set of the receiving unit will decide the graphic presentation
of the input data, for example the screen of the host.
Bar Code Printing:
The pattern of the bars refl ects the ASCII values of the input data and is
not affected by a NASC statement. The bar code interpretation (the human
readable characters below the bar pattern) is affected by a NASC statement.
However, the interpretation of bar codes, that have been processed and are
stored in the print buffer, will not be affected.
Example This example selects the Italian character set:
