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:
0
Three large program group selection buttons on the left
0
The program icon selection screen in the middle, including
“previous page” and “next page” buttons with a page
number in the upper right corner
0
Four small system control buttons on the right
0
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.

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.)
