Using A Display Adapter Card - Epson 3865X Plus User Manual

Using a Display Adapter Card

If you are using a non-VGA monitor, you'll need to install a
display adapter (video) card in one of the computer's option
slots before you can connect the monitor. (Your dealer may
have already installed the video card for you.)
If the video card has not yet been installed, you'll need to follow
the step-by-step instructions in Chapter 5 to install an option
card. But first, check the following table to make sure your
display adapter card and monitor are properly matched.
Monitor/video card compatibility
Monitor
Monochrome
Color or EGA
* Color monitors do not support EGA cards.
When you are installing the video card, check to make sure any
switches or jumpers on the card are set properly. For example,
you may need to change a switch setting to select color or
monochrome. See the documentation that came with your
monitor or video card for instructions.
