1. License

Under this license, you may use the Programs only with the device on which they are installed and transfer possession of the Programs

and the device to another party. If you transfer the Programs, you must transfer a copy of this license and any other documentation to

the other party. Your license is then terminated. The other party agrees to these terms and conditions by its first use of the Program.

You may not:

1) use, copy, modify, merge, or transfer copies of the Program except as provided in this license;

2) reverse assemble or reverse compile the Program; or

About this Operation Guide

This Operation Guide <Set-up Edition> is meant to be read when the Printer Board is installed in your copier and the

copier is to be used as a local printer or network printer. It contains explanations on set-up procedures for using the

copier as a printer.

As the required set-up and configurations for the printer may differ depending upon the environment in use in the

connected computer, please read those sections related to your specific computer environment and perform the

appropriate set-up and configuration explained there.

The Operation Guide <Functions Edition> contains explanations on printing, performing certain settings and

configurations, and the procedures required at your computer.

About the On-Line Manual

The On-Line Manual for this Operation Guide is a PDF (Portable Document Format) file and is located on the CD-ROM

that is included with this product. The Adobe Acrobat Reader software is required in order to access the On-Line Manual.

The installer for Adobe Acrobat Reader is also included on the CD-ROM so the software can be installed onto your hard

disk from there.
