1. Does the problem only occur when a
specific licensed program is
loaded?
2. Does the problem occur only when a

3. Does the problem occur if the job
is run on another Disp1aywriter
with the same features and EC/CEM
level?
4. Does the problem occur only when
typing?
5. What areas (modules) of the system
are operating at the time of fail-
ure?
6. Does the failure only occur when
other equipment is turned on or
operated?
7. On a dual diskette unit, does the
problem occur on both the left and
right side?
8. Does the problem occur at a spe-
cific time of day?
9. Do other Disp1aywriters in the
account have the same problem?
10. Does the same operator h~ve the
problem on different machines?
11. Are there any errors in any of the
device error logs? Section 16,
