Troubleshooting
You should not encounter any difficulties as you set up and use
your computer, but if anything out of the ordinary happens,
refer to this chapter. You can correct most problems by
adjusting a cable connection, repeating a software procedure, or
resetting the computer.
If you still have a problem after trying the recommended
solution, consult your Epson Customer Care Center. (For the
location of the center nearest you, call the Epson Consumer
Information Center number: 1-800-922-8911.)
When you contact your Epson Customer Care Center, be ready
to provide the serial number of your computer, its configuration
(including the type and number of disk drives, monitor, and
option cards), as well as the names and version numbers of any
application programs you are using. This information helps the
customer care representative diagnose the problem.
The Computer Won’t Start
If your computer does not start when you turn on the power
switch, check the following:
1.
Is the power light on the computer’s front panel on? If not,
remove any diskettes from the diskette drive(s) and turn off
the power switch. Check that the power cord is securely
connected to both the AC inlet on the back panel and an
electrical outlet.
WARNING
If you need to turn off the computer for any reason,
always wait at least five seconds before switching it back
on again. You can damage your computer if you turn it
off and on rapidly.
