What the system does when it encounters an error depends on how you’ve set the Halt on option in the SETUP program. (See Chapter 2 of the Setup Guide for instructions on using the SETUP program.) With this option, you can tell the computer to halt system initialization when it detects the following types of errors:
Q All errors
CL All errors, except diskette drive and keyboard errors
0All errors, except diskette drive errors
0All errors, except keyboard errors
0No errors.
If the system detects an error you’ve told it to ignore through the SETUP program, system initialization begins as though the system had not detected an error.
When the system detects an error that isn’t serious, such as an incorrectly defined diskette drive, you see the error message and the following prompt:
Press Fl to continue or Del to start SETUPWrite down the error message and press CT] to continue.
If the system detects a serious error or an error you’ve identified as a “halt on” error, the computer cancels further checking and halts system initialization. The error message remains on the screen and the computer locks up. If this happens, see “The Computer Won’t Start” in this chapter. If none of the suggestions listed there solves the problem, contact your Authorized Epson Servicer as soon as possible. Report any error messages when you request technical assistance.
