The RAM test writes to the microprocessor RAM space and verifies that the
write was successful. A failure of this test may indicate a problem with the
RAM or related circuitry in the Engine Board.
MARA
This test performs a read-write of the MARA registers and verifies that the data written can be
read back successfully. A failure of this test may indicate a problem with a MARA, related
circuitry or the Engine
Sound ROM
This test confirms that the Sound ROMs can be read by the MARA by performing a checksum

Sine Wave
This test generate sine wave from MARA, wave sample located in Sound ROM, and plays
through DAC and analog audio output. A failure of this may indicate a problem with a MARA
or Sound ROM (U47), or the analog audio section including DAC and OP-AMPs.
Caution: The output level of sinewave test is very loud!
MIDI
The MIDI test performs a loop-back of the serial port by sending a 23-byte pattern over the
external MIDI link. This test requires a MIDI loop (a MIDI cable that connects two MIDI jacks).
The test will fail if a MIDI cable is not connected between two MIDI jacks. Be sure to run this
test with MIDI cables connected as follows:
Note: Be sure to use a known working MIDI cable!
1. Connect a MIDI cable to the MIDI In and MIDI out jacks and run the test.
A failure of this test could be caused by failure of the serial port, other MIDI circuitry, or a
problem on the Amp Board or the Engine Board.

File Formats
Software upgrades are stored as standard MIDI files. Filenames are in the format MP2VV.MID,
where X is the software block and VVV is the version number (V.VV). The following lists the
possible values for X. Never install files with names that don’t conform to this format; it won’t
work.
bk—boot block for keyboard models
k—operating system software for keyboard models.

Replacing the Battery
The Mark Pro 2i uses a flat three volt Lithium coincell battery. When the battery voltage runs
low, the unit boots up with a low battery message.
Note: The battery voltage can be checked at anytime using the Scanner Diagnostics.

Accessing the Battery
1. Place the Mark Pro 2i upside down on a flat protected surface.
2. Remove top assembly and set it safely aside.
Removing the Battery
The battery (CR2032) in the Mark Pro 2i is mounted into a holder on the Engine Board and is
accessible when the access panel is removed.
1. Insert a flat plastic tool (plastic knife, pen cap, etc.) into one of the openings between the
battery and the holder to lift the battery.
Figure 4-1 Battery and Holder
2. Ease the battery out of the holder. If necessary, insert the plastic tool at the bottom of the
holder (closest to the Engine Board) to remove the battery.
Installing the Battery
1. Position the battery over the holder so that the positive terminal is pointing to the Engine
Board.
2. Slide the battery into the holder and apply slight pressure until it snaps into place.
3. Install the seven screws to secure the top assembly.

Mark Pro 2i Scanner test
The Scanner Tests for the Mark Pro 2i include separate tests for the front panel buttons and
LEDs, the keyboard, and the pedals.
To enter the Scanner Tests, first turn on the Mark Pro 2i. Once the Mark Pro 2i is on and ready to
play, simultaneously hold down the Effect
panel LEDs will flash and the segment will display the following:
Effect, Transpose + and Transpose - buttons. All front
EffectEffect
Figure 4-2 Segment example, Mark Pro 2i scanner tests
“SP2”, “SCn”, then “vX.Y” are displayed briefly in sequence vX.Y means version of the scanner
installed the unit.
“bAt” means “Battery” and the voltage is X.Y volts. Normal battery voltage is around 3.0 volts
where 3.2v is typical for a new battery and less than 2.8 means the battery is nearing the end of
its life and has only a few months left. At 2.2 volts, warning will begin. A completely dead oe
missing battery may not read exactly 0.0v but will certainly read less than 1.0v.
Last is a display of which option diodes have been installed. First “jPr” is displayed briefly then
4 vertical lines will show briefly. Each line represents an option diode from Opt1(leftmost) to
Opt4(rightmost) A long line(2 segments long) mans the corresponding diode is installed while a
short line(1 segment) is not installed. Option settings normally tell the scanner software the
keyboard length and weight and should match the actual unit.
Front Panel Buttons
When a button is pressed, its LED(if any) turns on and its matrix address is shown in the
display. Each press of Knob Mode will right the next Knob Mode LED in a top down sequences.
Rhythm and Program button has two color led, each button press, RED and GREEN LEDs turns
on alternatively.

Keyboard
When a keyboard key is pressed, the key’s musical pitch should be shown in the display. The
first character should be the note name .The second character should be blank for white keys or
a “high o(sharp sign) for black keys. The third character should be the octave number from 0
to 8. Thus Middle C will be shown as “C 4”
Besides the key name, the 3 decimal points in the display reveal important information about
the rubber switches under the key being pressed. When the key is pressed partially, the left
decimal point will indicate that the first rubber switch and made contact. When the key is
pressed further, the middle decimal point indicates that the key is pressed further, the middle
decimal points indicates that the second rubber switch has also made contact. Thus when a key
is pressed slowly, the following sequence should be observed exactly 0.
Blank Display -> Correct Key name and left decimal point -> Correctly Key name and left and
center decimal points
If the correct key name and only the center decimal point lights, then there is a defect associated
with the first switch. If all 3 decimal points light, then either more than one key is processing at
once or there is a short circuit in the connecting or on the connector.
Switch Pedals
If a single switch pedal is plugged into the SW jack, operating it should case a response in the
display. For Kurzweil pedals , pressing the pedal should cause “S1C” to be displayed while
releasing it should cause “S1o” to be displayed. Other vender’s pedals may cause the opposite
response. If a dual pedal is plugged in, then the Sustain (right) pedal should display as
described above. The Soft pedal(left) should cause “S2C” and “S2o” to display. As with the
buttons , the display should respond immediately and without flickering if pedal working
properly.
