Keyboards
Some HP Visualize Workstations are provided with the USB keyboard,
others with the PS/2 keyboard. You will be prompted to select one of
several keyboard languages when the Workstation boots for the first
time. The selected keyboard language name is stored in the
/etc/kbdlang file.
After the first boot you can use the keymap_ed utility to display the list of
the available keyboard languages:
/usr/contrib/bin/X11/keymap_ed -l
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
Printers and plotters can be configured via the front panel to print using
either the roman8 or iso8859-1 character sets. Please refer to your
printer or plotter documentation for detailed procedures.
