Appendix C

Performing System Diagnostics

This appendix describes how to use the System diagnostics
program to test the condition of your computer’s main unit and
peripheral devices. The diagnostics program provides tests to
check the following hardware:

System board

Memory

Hard disk drive(s)

Diskette drive(s)

Keyboard

Video adapter and monitor

Parallel and serial ports.

By changing settings on the System diagnostics main menu, you

can run the tests in several different ways. You can specify a
certain length of time to run a test, select to run it continuously
until you interrupt it, or specify a number of times to run the
test.

If an error occurs during a test, note the error message and
contact your Epson dealer. Your dealer may be able to solve the
problem; if not, he or she can refer you to an authorized Epson
Customer Care Center. If necessary, call the Epson Consumer
Information Center at (213) 782-2600 for the location of your

nearest authorized Epson dealer or Customer Care Center.
