Standard VGA monitors display resolutions up to 640 x 480,

and you do not need to install the drivers or utilities for your

monitor to operate properly with your application programs at

this resolution. Also, your system supports the VESA standard

1.20. If you have programs that use VESA, install the VESA

drivers that came with these programs.

However, you need to install these drivers if you want to use

resolutions over 640 x 480 or take advantage of the following

special features:

Interlaced and non-interlaced resolutions up to 1280 x 1024

in graphics modes with up to 16.8 million colors in

640 x 480 resolutions

132-column text mode in 16 colors

High-speed video memory interface

16-bit data path to video memory and hardware registers

Video adapter control of graphics cursor movement.

Your computer comes with 1MB of video memory installed on

the system board. You can upgrade the video memory to 2MB

by installing additional video memory chips. (See Chapter 4 for

installation instructions.) The resolutions your system can

support for each application depend on the size of your video

memory.

The Drivers diskette that came with your computer contains

drivers for Microsoft Windows, version 3.1. Other drivers are

available from the Epson Electronic Bulletin Board; call

(310) 782-4531 to request additional drivers.

The Drivers diskette also contains a utility program called

SetRES, which allows you to change your screen resolutions

from within the Windows environment.
