Peripheral Support Most Hewlett-Packard peripherals are designed for 8-bit operation. Most peripherals that have been configured for 7-bit operation can be reconfigured for 8-bit operation. (Refer to the System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042) for procedures.) Limitations and notes are listed for each peripheral. All NLS features are available to users with 7-bit USASCII terminals and printers, provided that the data used contains only USASCII characters. For example, a user in the United States can use American (the Hewlett-Packard name for American English) for sorting, date formatting, and message handling. This is possible because USASCII is a subset of ROMAN8. NLS has no direct control over the peripherals configured on a system. It is the user's responsibility to configure peripherals that support the character set(s) necessary for the desired languages. Peripherals configured for any of the 7-bit substitution sets are not supported by NLS.
