To be exact, the double-byte mapping allows an ASCII string
to contain a mixture of single-byte and double-bytes codes. For
example, in the BIG5 mapping, any ASCII character with value
160 or greater is the fi rst byte of a double-byte code, while
the remaining characters form single-byte codes. So, in BIG5,
the ASCII string "<160><64><65>" splits into the double-byte
code "<160><64>" and the single-byte code "<65>". The current
NASCD table specifi es both how to divide an ASCII string into
single-byte and double-byte codes and also how the double-byte
codes are mapped to unicodes. The current NASC table specifi es
how the single-byte codes are mapped to unicodes.
NASC <character set no.> | <"fi le name">
NASCD "<NASCD table fi le>"
<character set no.>
<"fi le name">
<NASCD table fi le>
Default:
Double-byte fonts
As discussed above, the ASCII data input to text fi elds and
human readable parts of bar codes can contain a mixture of
single-byte and double-byte codes, which are mapped to unicodes
by the NASC and NASCD settings respectively. The characters
for the single-byte codes are printed using the current single-byte
font, as specifi ed by the FONT command (see Chapter 4.3). The
characters for the double-byte codes are printed using the current
double-byte font, as specifi ed by the following commands:
FONTD | FD "<font fi le name>" [,<font size>,<font slant>]
<font fi le name>
<font size>
<font slant>
