SUBJECT:

MS Windows 3.x Stylus 400/800+/Color Printer Driver problems

using the Progression/Progression4/NX-Epson/Endeavor-WG

Date: 11/5/94 PSB No: PSB S-0181

Page(s): 1 of 2Originator: DS

This bulletin provides additional information to allow printer driver ver 1.03E for the Stylus 400,

800+ and Color printers to complete the installation process when connected to Epson

Progression/Progression4/NX-Epson and Endeavor-WG computers in the MS Windows 3.x

environment.

When attempting to install the 1.03E printer driver the following warning message appears:

“This driver cannot he updated because it is currently being used by windows.

Wait until Windows is finished using the driver, and then try again.”

This is caused by a conflict with the Wingine 256 color video driver and the printer installation

process. The following steps will help complete the installation:

Exit Windows to the DOS prompt, C:\>.

Change directories to Windows (Type CD\Windows ) Hit ENTER

At the C:\Windows prompt type SETUP and Hit ENTER.

After the SETUP screen appears, with the UP and DOWN arrows select the

DISPLAY line. Hit ENTER.

A BOX will appear near the bottom of the screen containing video drivers. With

the DOWN ARROW key, move through the drivers and find either a

WINGINE 32k or 64k color driver or select the Windows VGA driver.

Hit ENTER. Hit ENTER two more times to exit SETUP.

Type WIN to load Windows. In the MAIN program group find

CONTROL PANEL and double click. In CONTROL PANEL find PRINTERS

and double click. Continue with the printer installation from here.

After completing the installation, follow steps 1 through 4 to change back to

the Wingine 256 color driver you wish to use.

*NOTE: The latest version, v1.04, of the Stylus Printer Driver, file name STY104.EXE,

is available on the Epson RBBS, resolves the above issue.

Subject: Proper Method for Running Benchmark and Diagnostics Programs

Date: 06/04/93 PSB No: S-0158

Page(s): 1 of 1 Originator: MWT

This bulletin describes the proper method for running any benchmark or diagnostics

programs. This applies to any computer system.

In most cases, the computer should be started using an MS-DOS boot diskette

that’s ‘clean’ -

in other words, one with no CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

The appropriate executable can then be run, either from diskette or hard drive.

There will be some exceptions to the above rule. In attempting to benchmark or

troubleshoot any add-on that requires a device driver (CD-ROM, local area network,

etc.), obviously the necessary device driver(s) must be loaded. Also, some

programs will require a minimum number of FILES or BUFFERS to be defined in

the CONFIG.SYS file. Such programs will usually display this requirement if they

are run without the necessary CONFIG.SYS file.

For the most consistent results, use the absolute minimal boot configuration that’s

allowed by the hardware being tested.

RAMDAC when using the hardware

cursor Wingine display drivers. Serial

BIOS has been expanded to support

COM3 and COM4. Parallel BIOS has

been corrected to provide support for

LPT1-LPT3. Corrected inability to run

SETUP when an adaptec AHA-1540C

or 1542C SCSI host adapter is installed

by modifying POD to run external ROM

initialization routines just prior to

invocation of SETUP. Corrected

timing of parallel port STROBE signal

to allow for slow rise time and longer

cable lengths. Removed internal

cache test. The cache test failed,

regardless of cache condition. Since

the 80486 CPU perform internal cache

testing at power-up, disabling the POD

cache test will not affect system

performance. (SEE ECN NO: PROG4-
