Epson 486SX Personal Computer User Manual


 
If you frequently use programs that require low or automatic
speed, use Setup to change the processor speed. See Chapter 2
for instructions.
If you use these programs only occasionally, you should use
the keyboard commands or the ESPEED program (described
below) to change the processor speed.
Entering Keyboard Commands
You can change the processor speed by entering one of the
following commands:
[=I
[AnI]
m
Changes the speed to high.
[F]
(Aa]
a
Changes the speed to low.
CT]
[T]
m
Changes the speed to low when the computer
accesses a diskette.
To enter these commands, hold down the
m
key and the
m
key and press the
m,
m,
or
m
key located on the
numeric keypad.
The commands do not work if you use the
characters on the main keyboard.
Note
You can use the commands listed above while you are
running a program. However, if the program uses one of the
same commands for another function, you cannot use it to
change the processor speed. For example, if you are running
a program that uses the
(xl
[T]
a
command to move
the cursor, you cannot enter
[F]
IT]
a
to change the
processor speed to low. Another alternative is to use the
ESPEED program, described below.
