Error Messages

Your computer’s built-in memory (ROM) contains a series of

diagnostics programs, called power-on diagnostics, which your

computer runs automatically every time you turn it on. These

programs check internal devices such as ROM, RAM, the timer,

the keyboard controller, and the hard disk drive.

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 <F2> to continue

Write down the error message and press to continue.

If the system detects a serious error, the computer 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 the Epson Connection as soon as possible. Report any

error messages when you request technical assistance.
