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

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