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.
