You can use one of these parameters:

ESPEED program parameters

If you do not include the parameter when you type the ESPEED

command, the program displays the command syntax and

parameter options.

The processor speed you set remains in effect until you press

RESET or turn off the computer, or until you change it to a

different setting.

Parking the Hard Disk Drive Heads

If you need to move your computer to a new location, you may

want to park the hard disk drive heads to protect the disk

during the move. You do this by running the HDDPARK

program. HDDPARK

moves

the drive’s read/write heads to a

region on the disk surface that does not contain data, and locks

them securely in place so you cannot damage the disk.

Many hard disk drives, including all the Epson drives,

automatically park their heads when you turn off the

computer. If your drive does not do this, or if you are not

sure that it does, be sure to run the HDDPARK program.
