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 ESC and then Enter.

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