Introducing FocalPoint

Your system includes EPSON’s FocalPoint, a Windows

environment program. FocalPoint was designed to provide

easy access to the Windows programs, utilities, and games on

your computer, as well as on-line information about EPSON

products and services.

When you turn on or reset your computer, it automatically

starts FocalPoint after loading MS-DOS and Windows.

The FocalPoint screen includes these four sections:

Three large program group selection buttons on the left

The program icon selection screen in the middle, including

“previous page” and “next page” buttons with a page

number in the upper right corner

Four small system control buttons on the right

A description box on the bottom of the screen with

information on the currently highlighted item.

To learn more about FocalPoint and for help moving between

the FocalPoint screens, select the Help button with the blue ?

icon on the right side of the screen.

Always properly exit any program you are using and thenAlways properly exit any program you are using and then

If desired, you can prevent your computer from starting

FocalPoint automatically but still make it available from its

Windows icon. To do so, select the Exit button with the door

icon on the right side of the screen. Then open the Windows

Startup group, if necessary. Move the FocalPoint icon from that

group to another convenient Windows group. (See your

Windows documentation for instructions on using Windows.)

Where to Get Help

If you have trouble using any of the software mentioned in this

booklet, first check to see if the software includes on-line help

and/or a user manual and look there for information. Many

programs also provide support through CompuServe; check

your software documentation for information about obtaining

help this way.

If these sources do not help you solve the problem, contact the

software manufacturer for assistance at any of the numbers

given in this booklet.

Note

It is a good idea to periodically back up your entire hard

disk drive, or at least your program directories, so you can

restore your program files without using program diskettes.

We recommend that you back up the program directories of

any software for which you do not have the original

program diskettes. If you need to reinstall any software and

you do not have a backup, you may need to obtain program

diskettes from the manufacturer. Contact them at the

number(s) listed in this booklet. (Usually you can order

diskettes by calling the “Customer service” number.)
