Epson II+ Manuel D’Utilisation

This special section of your manual describes how to initialize your

Epson® system after it is assembled, and how to test the condition of your

computer and peripherals.

To set up and test your system, you use a group of programs called diag-

nostics on the reference diskette. Depending on the system you purchased,

these programs and some of the screen displays may vary. The five main

diagnostics programs are:

Setup

Use this program when you first set up the
computer, and each time you make changes
to the system.

Format hard disk

Use this program to check or format the

entire hard disk after installation.

Format diskette

Use this program to format a diskette for use

by the System diagnostics tests. This pro-

gram is provided for convenience only, so
that you can format a diskette without exit-
ing diagnostics.

System diagnostics

Use these programs whenever you add or
remove optional devices, or if you suspect

that the system is defective. You also run
these diagnostics after moving the system

from one place to another and after replacing

the internal battery.

Prepare hard disk

Use this program before moving the com-

for moving

puter to another location.

The reference diskette also contains these MS-DOS commands:

HDSIT
