Restrictions onEnd Use You access HP Desk from terminals or personal computers connected to the HP 3000 on which HP Desk is installed. Certain restrictions on the use of HP Desk are imposed by the device from which it is accessed. For full details of the supported terminals, see the HP Desk Datasheet. Other applications that may be integrated with HP Desk, such as HP Word, may have additional display or memory requirements that restrict the range of supported devices. These requirements may affect whether you can run an application from within HP Desk or whether you can display HP Desk messages that contain files created by those applications. At a Terminal The full facilities of HP Desk are available to users of block-mode terminals with conventional function keys. Users of more basic models, and of any third party terminal that doesn't emulate a Hewlett-Packard terminal, have a restricted set of facilities available. They are unable to have full screen editing, manipulate VPLUS/3000 forms, use customized function keys or the Suspend key. With terminals connected to a host HP 3000 via an X.25 network, users are denied access to any application that, though normally run under HP Desk, is not supported over PAD devices. For example, HP Slate and TDP are not supported. At a Personal Computer There are no restrictions imposed on the use of HP Desk from a Hewlett-Packard or IBM personal computer operating in terminal mode. Accessing HP Desk from a Hewlett-Packard or IBM personal computer using the NewWave Mail or AdvanceMail messaging applications is described in the section "AdvanceMail and NewWave Mail Users" . At a Printer HP Desk can use any spooled printer supported by MPE; slave printers are not supported. However, some office applications that can be accessed from HP Desk, such as HP Slate or HP Draw, must print to particular types of spooled printer. This restriction applies equally to the printing of HP Desk messages that contain files created by these applications.
