X Window screen and keyboards

To use CDE, the Xserver must be running on a remote machine on the network and the optional graphics card and keyboards must be connected to the server.To properly input local characters without limitations, HP recommends that you use a localized keyboard. Please refer to the keymap_ed(1X11) and xmodmap(1) commands for help on using customizing non-localized keyboards.

Terminals

To properly handle characters, terminals must be set for the roman8 or iso8859-1 codeset. Most HP terminals handle the roman8 character set. However, support for the iso8859-1 character set varies by terminal and emulation type. Terminal codeset configuration is usually set via function keys. The actual procedure varies by model. Please refer to your terminal documentation.

Printers and Plotters

Most HP printers and plotters can be configured via the front panel to print using either the roman8 or iso8859-1 character sets. See your printer or plotter documentation for detailed procedures.

Some printers also have local language fonts installed that can be utilized by HP-UX. By choosing the right model files, HP-UX can also print local language characters on printers that do not support those characters natively.

For more information on the available model files that can be used for different printers, see “Configuring Printers”.
