For this check, the program writes specific data into memory and then reads it back. The data is written and read in blocks of 64KB. A parity check is also made on each block. A memory count displays after each block tests without error. After the program checks the last block, you see a message like:

000640 KB 0K

If an error occurs, make a copy or a printout of the error code and message, and contact your dealer or Epson for customer service. Attempting to correct memory errors yourself may violate your warranty agreement.

Note: Memory above 640KB, which is normally not available to MS-DOS, is checked using the protected mode of the 80286 CPU chip.
