Turning off the equity ii – Epson Equity II User Manual

Page 34

There are three ways to reset. Because each is more powerful than

the last, try them in the order listed here:

If you are using MS-DOS, hold down

Ctrl

and

Alt

and press the

Del

key on the numeric keypad at the right of the keyboard. The screen

goes blank for a moment and then MS-DOS reloads. (The operating

system must be on either the diskette in the top drive or the hard

disk.) If this does not correct the problem, try the second method.

Press the reset button under the cover below the disk drives. This

method works even when the keyboard does not respond to your

commands. If this does not correct the problem, try the third

method.

Remove any diskettes from the floppy disk drives. Use the power

switch under the cover at the top right of the front panel to turn off

the Equity II. Wait 5 seconds and then turn on the power again.

Turning Off the Equity II

Before you turn off your system, exit the program you are using and

then remove all diskettes from the disk drives. If you have a hard disk, it

is best to run the MS-DOS HDSIT program to move the read/write

heads away from the recording area before you turn off the computer

(see your MS-DOS manual for instructions).

Turn off the main unit first-open the cover at the top right of the

front panel and press the power switch. The power LED lamp above the

power switch goes out. Then turn off the monitor, the printer, and any

other peripherals you have.

Note: In addition to the power switch, you can use software to turn the

Equity II on and off. The MS-DOS SETUP program allows you to

set a time when you want the computer to turn on automatically.

You can also turn off the Equity II using a program that turns off

the computer. See your MS-DOS manual for more information.
