Diskette Drive Problems

If you see a diskette error message or have difficulty with a

diskette drive, follow these steps:

1. If you have problems with a new diskette drive that someone

else installed, consult that person about the problem.

2. If you installed the drive yourself, did you carefully follow all

the steps in Chapter 5? Review the instructions and check

all the cable connections to make sure you installed the

drive correctly.

3. Did you run the SETUP program and configure the correct

type of diskette drive for your system? (See Chapter 2 for

instructions.)

4. If the diskette drive is making loud or unusual noises, do not

attempt any further examination of it. Contact the Epson

Connection for assistance.
