Using the External Monitor

After you connect the monitor, turn in on before you turn on the

computer. Your ActianNote automatically senses when an

external monitor is connected and disables the LCD screen. The

default display resolution is 640x480 for both the external

monitor and the LCD. If you want to display your Windows

applications in higher resolutions supported by your monitor (up
to 1024x768), you need to use the video utilities included with

your system.

These utilities allow you to select your display output (external

monitor, LCD screen, or both) as well as various resolutions,

monitor types, and video modes. Select SetRES in the VGA

Utilities window to change your display corfiguration. When you

want to switch back to your LCD screen, you first need to select
the standard VGA 640x480 resolution. Then select Panel in the

VGA Utilities window.

See "Using the video utilities" in Chapter 2 for more information

about configuring your display.

High resolution display drivers for Microsoft Window 3.1 are

already installed and available on your hard disk drive. To obtain

drivers for other applications, access the Epson America Forum on

CompuServe or call the EPSON Connection at 1-8---922-8911 in

the United States or 1-800-GO-EPSON in Canada.
