STANDALONE PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
(continued)
Keyboard Scan Code Test (SCANTEST):
The keyboard scan code test verifies the keyboard hardware
interface to the adapter.
To conduct a valid test, load the program into the failing
partition. If the failing keyboard does not permit you to
answer a standard load prompt, you might have to load
the failing partition from another data station.
To load the keyboard scan code test (SCANTEST), see
971.
To terminate this test, press the space bar six times.
Magnetic Stripe Reader Test (MSRTEST)
The magnetic stripe reader test reads the test card
or a user card. The data from the card is displayed.
To load the magnetic stripe reader test (MSRTEST), see
971. See 751 for a description of how to run the
MSRTEST test.
To terminate this test, either press the Sys Req key or
press the Cmd key followed by the End of Job key.

Display Exerciser Test (CRTTEST):
The display exerciser test permits you to adjust and
verify the size and position of the display.
To load the display exerciser test (CRTTEST), see 971.
To terminate this test, either press the Sys Req key or
press the Crild key followed by the End of Job key.
Elapsed Time
Counte~
Test 1 (TMRTEST 1)
The elapsed time counter test 1 is a digital display of
the elapsed time counter in hours, minutes, and
seconds.
To load the elapsed time counter test 1 (TMRTEST1),
see 971.
To terminate this test; either press the Sys Req key or
press the Cmd key followed by the End of Job key.
Elapsed Time Counter Test 2 (TMRTEST2)
The elapsed time counter test 2 checks for
hardware problems that TIY'RTEST1 cannot sense.
To load the elapsed time counter test 2 (TMRTEST2),
see 971.
To terminate this test, either press the Sys Req key or
press the Cmd key followed by the End of Job key.
Printer Test (TPRNT):
I.
The printer test operates the printer functions such as
new line, and carriage return. The test also attempts to
print nonprintable characters and verifies that they are
not printed.
1)75
To terminate the printer test when in a loop mode (option
1 from prompt 54-02), either press the Sys Req key or
press the Cmd key followed by the End of Job key. When
terminating the printer test, the printer must finish unload-
ing the buffer before a terminate screen is displayed.
Therefore, there might be a delay of several seconds before
any display screen pro.mpt or message is indicated.
