Entering the ESPEED command in a batch file

You may want to run the ESPEED program by including the

command in a batch file. For example, let’s say you have a

program called SLOWDOWN which requires a slower

processor speed. You could include the following commands in

a batch file to start the SLOWDOWN program:

ESPEED /A

SLOWDOWN

You could name the batch file SLOW.BAT. Whenever you need

to run the SLOWDOWN program, type SLOW and press

The computer changes the processor speed to automatic and

starts the program.

Preparing the Hard Disk for Moving

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

want to run the HDSIT program provided on your Reference

diskette to protect the hard disk during the move.

HDSIT moves (or parks) the disk drive’s read/write heads to a

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

them securely in position. This protects the hard disk from

being damaged if the computer is bumped accidentally.

Many hard disk drives, including all Epson drives,

automatically park their heads when you turn off the computer.

If your hard disk drive does not do this, or if you are not sure

that it does, be sure to run HDSIT.

If you have not already done so, copy the HDSIT.COM and

HDSIT.VER files from the Reference diskette to the root

directory on your hard disk. Then, when you want to run

HDSIT, type HDSIT and press
