Appendix 1. MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE
Appendix 1.1 OVERVIEW
The maintenance software contains the test program (PT15TESTSE.EXE and patern01.prn) and
EEPROM initialization program (PT15RESET.EXE).
The test program may check the cassette sensor, tape feeding & cutting function, and printing
function, as well as writing a serial number onto the EEPROM mounted on the main PCB in the
PT-2420PC. The test results and serial number will be stored in the EEPROM.
If you run the test program again for the PT-2420PC tested once, the test program will skip already
tested items. To test all of those items, you need to initialize the test results and serial number
stored in the EEPROM by using the EEPROM initialization program and then run the test program.
