The Equity II+ character set
The Equity II+ uses a special character set that assigns graphics and international characters to some of the ASCII codes. In most cases, if you try to print these characters on a standard printer, you get italic characters instead. Some Epson printers support the IBM character set (the character set the Equity II+ uses) as a standard feature, and others can be adapted. In addition, some application programs can print the special graphic characters on a standard printer when you use a special printer driver program. Ask your Epson dealer for more information.
Turning On the Computer
8 After you set up your system, you’re ready to turn on the power and start using your Equity II+ computer. But before you turn it on, read the following safety rules.
Safety rules
Follow these rules to avoid accidentally damaging your computer or injuring yourself:
Never turn the computer on or off with a protector sheet in the disk drive.
Do not attempt to dismantle any part of the computer. Only remove the top cover to install and remove option cards. If there is a hardware problem you cannot solve after reading Chapter 5 on troubleshooting, or if you want to install an optional 80287 math coprocessor, consult your Epson dealer.
Always turn off the power, disconnect the computer’s power cord, and wait a few minutes before you remove the computer’s cover.
Do not unplug cables from the computer when the power switch is on.
Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive light is on. This can destroy data stored on disk or make a whole disk unusable.
Always wait at least five seconds after you switch the power off before you switch it on again. Turning the power off and on rapidly can damage the computer’s circuitry.
Do not leave a beverage on top of or next to your system or any of its components. Spilled liquid can damage the circuitry of your components.
