Epson 10020 User Manual

Note

Besides the method described below, you can also format

diskettes using the Epson MENU utility. This program is

easy to use because it lets you select options from a Menu.

For more information, see the section on MENU later in this

chapter or see your MS-DOS Reference Manual.
