The Utility diskettes included with your system contain special

VGA (video graphics array) drivers and utilities for your

computer’s built-in VGA adapter. This booklet describes how

to install and use these drivers and utilities.

Since software programs can run on different types of display

adapters with different types of monitors, the VGA drivers

identify your display adapter and monitor for the software.

These drivers are files your software uses to communicate with

your display adapter and monitor.

A utility is a program that supports the processes of a

computer. The utilities on your diskettes let you change the

screen resolution and enhance your system operation by

controlling the screen refresh rate or setting various video

modes. You can also use the CLMODE utility to see how much

video memory is installed in your computer.

Your computer’s built-in VGA adapter is 100% compatible with

IBM VGA. This adapter allows you to use the computer with

Epson

VGA monitors, other brands of VGA monitors, and

VGA compatible, multifrequency monitors that use analog

input. The drivers and utilities described in this guide work

with any of these monitors.

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.

VGA Utilities 1

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 1024 x 768

in graphics modes with up to 16.8 million colors in

640 x 480 resolutions; check the table on page 3 for

resolutions and colors supported for your applications

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.

Note

You can use Epson’s VGA drivers and utilities only with the

computer’s built-in VGA adapter. If you have installed an

optional display adapter card, use

the drivers

and

documentation that came with it.

These programs are designed for systems running MS-DOS

or OS/2. If you are using another operating system, see the

documentation that came with it for information about the

VGA drivers you can use.

Your computer comes with either 512KB or 1MB of video

memory installed on the system board. If your system has

512KB, you can upgrade the video memory to 1MB by

installing four additional video memory chips. (See Chapter 2

of the

User’s

Guide for installation instructions.) The resolutions

your system can support for each application depend on the

size of your video memory.

2 VGA Utilities

The following table lists the applications for which high

resolution VGA drivers are provided, as well as the supported

resolutions and colors for each application. Those drivers

requiring 1MB of video memory are identified in the last

column.

Supported applications

VGA Utilities 3

Supported applications (Continued)

In addition to the drivers for the applications listed above, the

Utility diskettes include INSTALL programs to help you install

the drivers on your hard disk.

The Utility 1 diskette contains VGA drivers for MS-DOS based

applications. The Utility 2 diskette contains drivers and utilities

for Windows 3.0 and 3.1. The Utility 3 diskette contains VGA

drivers and utilities for the OS/2 environment.

4 VGA Utilities

You’ll also find the following utility programs:

CLMODE

SetRES.

The CLMODE utility allows you to see the amount of video

memory you have installed, determine the video modes you

want to use, and change the vertical refresh rates. The SetRES

utility allows you to change your screen resolutions from

within the Windows environment.

You may want to install these utilities even if you are not

installing any of the VGA drivers. See page 48 for more

information.

Installing Drivers and

Utilities

The information in this guide is organized alphabetically by

application program or operating environment. To install a

particular driver, look up your application or environment in

the table of contents; then turn to the appropriate section for

instructions. When you are instructed to run the INSTALL

program, see the section below.

Note

Each of the Epson VGA drivers is designed to work with a

specific version of software. Make sure the driver you select

is compatible with the version of software you are using, or

you may get unpredictable results.

VGA Utilities 5

Using the INSTALL Program

easy way to install the VGA drivers and utilities for your

MS-DOS based applications. You can choose to install of the

drivers at once or select individual sets of drivers to install.

Note

Utility 1 diskette to install the 0S/2 and Windows drivers.

See “IBM OS/2, Version 2.0” on page 25 or “Microsoft

Windows, Version 3.0” on page 31 for installation
