User's Manual

When the system detects an error that isn’t serious, such as an
incorrectly defined diskette drive, you see an error message
and the following prompt:
Press <Fl> to run SETUP or RESUME
Write down the error message.
If the computer detects a serious error, it cancels further
checking and halts system initialization. The error message
remains on the screen and the computer locks up. If this
happens, see “The Computer Won’t Start” in this chapter. If
none of the suggestions listed there solves the problem, contact
your sales representative or the EPSON Connection as soon as
possible. Report any error messages when you request
technical assistance.
The following table lists error messages that may appear
during power-on diagnostics. If you receive an error message,
look it up in the table below; it directs you to the proper
troubleshooting section in this chapter or offers a solution. If
you do not see an error message, read the section that covers
your problem.
