Before checking the operation of the keys, you must identify

your keyboard layout so the test is appropriate for the keys on
your keyboard. A display appears, asking you to identify the
shape of your

Enter

key. Choose the shape that matches the

one on your keyboard, then press

Enter.

The program displays your keyboard layout on the screen.

When you press a key on the keyboard, an asterisk appears at
the corresponding location on the keyboard

layout.

If you hold

a key down, the asterisk begins to blink. If an asterisk does not
appear at the correct location, there is a problem with your

keyboard. Test each key.

You see these messages on the screen:

Press ESC followed by ENTER to exit.

Press END followed by ENTER if screen

and keyboard do not match.

If all the keys function correctly and match the characters
displayed, press

E

SC

and then

Enter.

If all the keys function, but the characters displayed do not
match the keys, press

E

SC

and then

Enter.

Then reselect the

keyboard test from the Device List, and check that you selected

the correct keyboard layout. You can find diagrams of all the

international keyboard layouts in the MS-DOS Reference

Manual.

If any key is incorrect, press

End

and

Enter.

Make a copy of the

error code and message, or print them out, and contact your
Epson dealer or service center.
