Installing The Cd-Rom Driver; Installing The Network Driver - Epson MR Series Technical Reference Manual

Installing the CD-ROM Driver

After installing the MS-DOS locally procured edition only, the CD-ROM drive of the IM-800 is
not recognized. Therefore, use other PC to read the CD-ROM, and install the CD-ROM driver to
the IM-800 after copying the CD-ROM driver to a floppy disk from the Driver CD-ROM for the
IM-800.
Note
When using the CD-ROM driver, MSCDEX.EXE of MS-DOS is needed.
Install the CD-ROM driver by the following procedure.
1. Start the other PC to read the CD-ROM, and insert the Driver CD-ROM for the IM-800 to the
CD-ROM drive. Insert a formatted floppy disk in the FDD.
2. Copy \Dos62\CD-ROM\CDATAPI.SYS in the Driver CD-ROM for the IM-800 to the floppy
disk.
3. Turn on the IM-800 to start MS-DOS.
4. Insert the floppy disk copied by step 2 in the FDD of the IM-800.
5. Copy the CDATAPI.SYS on the floppy disk to the optional directory in the hard disk. For
example, copy it on C:\DOS\directory.
6. Add the following description to the CONFIG.SYS of MS-DOS with a text editor, and save it.
The following example is for copying to the C:\DOS\directory. In case of copying to other
directory, describe the directory name with its full path.
DEVICE=C:\DOS\CDATAPI.SYS /D:CDROM
7. Add the following description to the AUTOEXEC.BAT of the MS-DOS with a text editor,
and save it. The following example has MSCDEX.EXE in the C:\DOS\directory. If you have
it in another directory, describe the directory with its full path. In case of the /L option,
specify a drive name. The following is an example specifying the D drive. In case of
specifying the other drive name, describe the optional drive name.
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM /L:D
8. Restart MS-DOS.

Installing the Network Driver

The Network Driver is provided in the form compressed in the Driver CD-ROM for the IM-800.
MS-DOS cannot extract the compressed file. Therefore, by using another PC to read the
CD-ROM, install the Network driver to the IM-800 after extracting the Network driver in the
Driver CD-ROM for the IM-800.
Note
Windows 98, NT or 2000 is necessary for extracting the compressed file.
Extracting the network driver
Extract the compressed file of the Network Driver by the following procedure.
1. Start the other PC to read the CD-ROM, and start either Windows 98, NT, or 2000.
