1 Setting Up and Using Your PC

Starting and Stopping Your PC

2The software initialization routine starts. It displays the software license agreement, gives you an opportunity to read Working in Comfort (ergonomic advice for computer users), and then asks questions about the PC. For example:

The name of the person who will use the PC and your company name. (If necessary, the name of the user can be modified later.)

The current date and time.

The type of printer (for example, HP LaserJet 4M). This is shown on the front of the printer. You also need to enter the connection used by the printer.

The model number of your display. The display’s model number is shown on the cover of the manual supplied with the display and on a label on the rear of the display.

Depending on which model PC you have, you may also be asked to select which operating system you want to use, Windows 3.11 or Windows 95. Once you have confirmed your selection of the operating system, you cannot change that selection. The operating system that you have NOT chosen will be deleted from the computer’s hard disk

3While the initialization program is running, you can complete the Warranty Registration card that you will find inside the back of this manual. When the initialization routine has finished, click on OK and the PC will restart.

After Your PC Has Restarted

Set the keyboard to a comfortable position.

Adjust the display screen’s brightness and contrast to suit your needs. If the picture does not fill the screen or is not centered, adjust it using the controls on the display. Refer to the display’s manual for details.
