Thus, the preferred way to encode extended ASCII characters is to simply embed them in the
DATA and let the printer manage the encoding task. For best results, the code set should also
not be specified (i.e., p4=1). FCN4 s should be manually inserted only in systems where
extended ASCII characters cannot be transmitted to the printer.
Important • It is illegal to mix automatic and manual modes within the data for a single
symbol; i.e., an extended ASCII character encountered in the data after an will be considered
a syntax error. Likewise, an FCN4 after an extended ASCII character will also be considered
a syntax error.
