NASC, cont'd.
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Remarks, cont'd. • 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.
• Communication:
Data transmitted via any of the communication channels will not be
affected as the data is defined as ASCII values, not as alphanumeric
characters. The active character set of the receiving unit will decide the
graphic presentation of the input data, e.g. the screen of the host.
• Bar Code Printing:
The pattern of the bars reflects the ASCII values of the input data and is not
affected by a NASC statement. The bar code interpretation (i.e. 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:
