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.
Table C-1 “MPE/iX Terminal Types and Similar MPE
V/E Terminal Types” through Table C-4 “MPE V/E Terminal and Similar MPE/iX Printer
Types”provide comparative
information for MPE V/E and MPE/iX terminal and printer types.

V/E Terminal Types
| MPE/iX
Terminal | MPE
V/E Terminal | Differences |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | Enhanced XON/OFF
protocol on MPE/iX. No ENQ/ACK protocol on MPE/iX. |
| 18 | 18 | Enhanced XON/OFF protocol on
MPE/iX. |

V/E Terminal | Differences |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | Enhanced XON/OFF
protocol on MPE/iX. |
| 21,22 | 21,22 | Enhanced XON/OFF protocol on
MPE/iX. No ENQ/ACK protocol on MPE/iX. Printer initialization string
of the MPE V/E terminal type PCL22 is used. Printer status checking
is done less frequently on MPE/iX ; status requests are not sent
after each printed line. |

V/E\Terminal | Description | MPE/iX
\Terminal | 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. | 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 | It is necessary
to programmatically set parity to NONE. |
| 13 | Terminal
type 10 with no echo or ENQ/ACK protocol. Used for plotters or the
HP 2601 printer. | None | These devices are
not supported on MPE XL. |
| 15,16 | 8-bit
and 7-bit HP 2635 hardcopy terminal. | None | The HP 2635 is
not supported on MPE/iX. |
| 18
(Terminal) | Terminal
type 10 without ENQ/ACK protocol or a READ trigger. Used with non-HP
devices. | 18 | Terminal type 18
is the same on MPE V/E and MPE/iX , except that an enhanced XON/XOFF
protocol is used on MPE/iX. |
| 18 (Printer) | Non-HP devices
or application printers. | 18 | The MPE V/E terminal type 18
and MPE/iX printer type 18 are the same except that an enhanced
XON/XOFF protocol is used on MPE/iX. |
