Appendix C Terminal and Printer Types
The terminal types supported on the advanced terminal processor (ATP) and
asynchronous data communications controller (ADCC) terminal/printer
controllers for MPE V/E T-MIT or later (MPE V/E version G.01.00 or later)
are 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, TTPCL18, TTPCL19, and
TTPCL22
The data and terminal subsystems (DTS) on MPE/iX systems supports
terminal types 10 and 18.
The DTS on MPE/iX systems supports printer types 18, 21, and 22.
Tables C-1 through C-4 provide comparative information for
MPE V/E and MPE/iX terminal and printer types.
