The following terminal types files are supported on the ATP
and ADCC terminal/printer controllers with MPE V T-MIT or later
(MPE V version G.01.00 or later): 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, TTPCL18, TTPCL19, TTPCL22, and TTPCL26.
DTS on MPE/iX computers supports three terminal types and
four printer types: Table A-1 “MPE/iX
Terminal Types Overview” and Table A-2 “MPE/iX
Printer Types Overview” provide an introduction
to the MPE/iX terminal types and printer types by comparing them
to the MPE V terminal types that are the most similar. See Table A-1 “MPE/iX
Terminal Types Overview” for the terminal types
that apply to terminals, and Table A-2 “MPE/iX
Printer Types Overview”
for the MPE V terminal types and MPE/iX printer types that apply
to printers. Table A-1 MPE/iX
Terminal Types Overview | MPE/iX Terminal Type | Similar MPE V Terminal Type | Differences |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | Enhanced XON/XOFF protocol on MPE/iX. No ENQ/ACK
protocol on MPE/iX. | | 18 | 18 | Enhanced XON/XOFF protocol on MPE/iX. | | 24 | 24 | For terminal devices connected via PAD. |
Table A-2 MPE/iX
Printer Types Overview | MPE/iX Printer Type | Similar MPE V Terminal Type | Differences |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | Enhanced XON/xoff protocol on MPE/iX | | 21, 22, 26 | 21, 22, 26 | Enhanced XON/XOFF protocol on MPE/iX. No ENQ/ACK protocol
on MPE/iX. Printer initialization string of MPE V's TTPCL22 is used.Printer
status checks are done less frequently on MPE/iX; status requests
are not sent after each printed line. |
As devices are moved from an MPE V system to an MPE/iX system,
see Table A-3 “Terminal
Type Migration for Terminals” and Table A-4 “Terminal
Type Migration for Printers” to decide which terminal or printer type
to use with each of your asynchronous devices. Table A-3 Terminal
Type Migration for Terminals | MPE V Terminal Type | Description | Use MPE/iX Terminal Type | Comments |
|---|
| 6, 9 | Non-HP hardcopy device needing delays after
linefeed or formfeed. | None | Devices that need delays are not supported
on MPE/iX. | | 10 | General HP CRT terminal using both ENQ/ACK
and XON/XOFF protocol. | 10 | Only XON/XOFF protocol is used on MPE/iX. | | 12 | 8-bit character version of terminal type 10.
Used with languages that need extended character sets. | 10 | Bits per character no longer defined by terminal
type. | | 13 | Terminal type 10 with no echo or ENQ/ACK protocol.
Used for plotters or the HP 2601 printer. | None | Similar terminal type can be created with TTUTIL. | | 15, 16 | 8-bit and 7-bit HP 2635 hardcopy terminal. | None | These terminal types specify use of a backspace
response action not supported on MPE/iX. | | 18 | Terminal type 10 without ENQ/ACK protocol or
a read trigger. Used with non-HP devices. | 18 | Enhanced XON/XOFF protocol is used on MPE/iX. | | 24 | Terminal type used for PAD terminals supporting
page block mode. | 24 | Terminal type used for PAD terminals supporting
page block mode. (Note that the block mode support is for VPLUS
block mode only.) |
Table A-4 Terminal
Type Migration for Printers | MPE V Terminal Type | Description | Use MPE/iX Printer Type | Comments |
|---|
| 18 | Non-HP devices or application printers | 18 | MPE V's terminal type 18
and MPE/iX's printer type 18 are exactly the same
except that an enhanced XON/XOFF protocol is used on MPE/iX. | | TTPCL18 | Terminal type 18 with a printer initialization
string and an XOFF timer. Used with HP 2687A. | 18 | The HP 2687 A is not supported on MPE/iX. | | 19 | Remote serial spooled printer. | 21 | Status checking is done less frequently on
MPE/iX. The printer initialization string is the same as MPE V's
TTPCL22. | | TTPCL19 | PCL remote serial spooled printer. | 21 | Status checking is done less frequently on
MPE/iX. | | 20 | 8-bit serial spooled printer. | 22 | Status checking is done less frequently on
MPE/iX. Initialization string is the same as MPE V's
TTPCL22. | | 21 | Serial spooled printer with no status checking
after XOFF. | 21 | Status checking is done less frequently on
MPE/iX. Initialization string is the same as MPE V's
TTPCL22. | | 22 | 8-bit serial spooled printer with no status
checking after XOFF. | 22 | Status checking is done less frequently on
MPE/iX. Initialization string is the same as MPE V's
TTPCL22. | | TTPCL22 | PCL 8-bit serial spooled printer with no status
checking after XOFF. | 22 | Status checking is done less frequently on
MPE/iX. | | 26 | For use with remote spooled printers over a
buffered network. | 26 | Same as MPE V's TTPCL26. | | TTPCL26 | PCL for use with remote spooled printers over
a buffered network. | 26 | Same as MPE V's TTPCL26. |
