Epson HX-20 User Manual

Chapter 7

Your HX-20 is a highly sophisticated computer, controlled by very

advanced software. Epson built reliability into this software, so it’s
quite likely that your HX-20 will give you trouble-free service for

years. Nevertheless, even the most intelligent systems can become

confused.

This chapter will show you what to do if your HX-20 fails to work

properly.

Symptom:

Text and/ or graphics remain on the screen, even

when the ON-OFF switch is in the OFF position.

Cause:

The “ON-OFF” switch does not shut off power,

but merely  suggests  to the HX-20 that it stop pro-

cessing. (If the ON-OFF switch  did  shut off

power, turning it off would make the HX-20 for-

get every program in its memory!) For some rea-

son, the HX-20 is so busy processing that it has

failed to notice the position of the ON-OFF

switch.

Recommended

With the power switch off, use your finger or a

Action:

blunt object to press the RESET switch on the

right side of the HX-20.
