Preparing to Install Drivers or Utilities

Before you install any of the drivers or utilities on the Utility

diskettes, follow these precautions:

❏ Make backup copies of the Utility diskettes using the

DISKCOPY command or the Epson MENU utility. (See
your MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions.) Store the

original diskettes in a safe place and use your backup copies

to install the software drivers and utilities on your hard disk.

Each of the drivers on your Utility diskettes is designed for a

specific version of software and will not work properly on

other versions of the same software. (The Utility diskettes

contain drivers for several versions of some programs.)

Verify that the software driver you install is the appropriate

driver for the software version you are using.

❏ Read the section in this appendix that describes the driver

installation for the particular application program you are

using. Be sure to follow any special instructions given in
each section. When you are instructed to copy the driver

files to your hard disk, see “Using the VGA Driver Setup

Program,” below.

Using the VGA Driver Setup Program

The VGA driver setup program on your Utility 1 diskette

provides an easy way to install the VGA drivers on your hard

disk. You choose drivers for each application program from the

main menu and select each resolution you want to use from a

submenu. Then Setup copies the necessary driver files to your
hard disk and displays further instructions for configuring each

program.
