Before you set up your EPSON

information about your system and how to get technical

Setting Up Your System
Most systems sold by EPSON Direct” are preconfigured; all the
hardware and software (such as MS-DOS® and Microsoft®
Windows™, is already installed. However, be sure to follow
these general procedures when setting up your system:
1.
Install any internal options.
If you purchased additional,
optional equipment that goes inside the computer—such as
option cards, memory modules, a hard disk, or a diskette
drive-you should install these devices first. See Chapters 4
and 5 in your User's
Guide
for instructions.
2. Set up the computer.
Follow the steps in Chapter 1 of the
User's
Guide
to connect your system components and in
Chapter 2 to run the SETUP program.
3. Install your Windows applications and other software.
Install any Windows applications and other software
programs you plan to use. See the documentation that
came with the application programs for instructions.
Note
Be sure to make backup copies of all the diskettes you
use to set up your system and install your software.
