IBM Program License Agreement

THE DEVICE YOU HAVE PURCHASED CONTAINS ONE OR MORE SOFTWARE

PROGRAMS (“PROGRAMS”) WHICH BELONG TO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

MACHINES CORPORATION (“IBM”). THIS DOCUMENT DEFINES THE TERMS AND

CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE SOFTWARE IS BEING LICENSED TO YOU BY IBM.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE,

THEN WITHIN 14 DAYS AFTER YOUR ACQUISITION OF THE DEVICE YOU MAY

RETURN THE DEVICE FOR A FULL REFUND. IF YOU DO NOT SO RETURN THE

DEVICE WITHIN THE 14 DAYS, THEN YOU WILL BE ASSUMED TO HAVE AGREED TO

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

The Programs are licensed not sold. IBM, or the applicable IBM country organization,

grants you a license for the Programs only in the country where you acquired the

Programs. You obtain no rights other than those granted you under this license.

The term “Programs” means the original and all whole or partial copies of it, including

modified copies or portions merged into other programs. IBM retains title to the Programs.

IBM owns, or has licensed from the owner, copyrights in the Programs.

iii

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

3) sublicense, rent, lease, or assign the Program.

2. Limited Warranty

The Programs are provided “AS IS.”

THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES COVERING THE PROGRAMS (OR

CONDITIONS), EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion

may not apply to you.

SUPPLEMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR SOFTWARE BUNDLING AND DISTRIBUTION

FOR ALDC

3. Limitation of Remedies

IBM’s entire liability under this license is the following;

1) For any claim (including fundamental breach), in any form, related in any way to this

license, IBM’s liability will be for actual damages only and will be limited to the greater of;

a) the equivalent of U.S.$25,000 in your local currency; or

b) IBM’s then generally available license fee for the Program

This limitation will not apply to claims for bodily injury or damages to real or tangible

personal property for which IBM is legally liable. IBM will not be liable for any lost profits,

lost savings, or any incidental damages or other economic consequential damages, even

if IBM, or its authorized supplier, has been advised of the possibility of such damages. IBM

will not be liable for any damages claimed by you based on any third party claim. This

limitation of remedies also applies to any developer of Programs supplied to IBM. IBM's

and the developer's limitations of remedies are not cumulative. Such developer is an

intended beneficiary of this Section. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations or

exclusions, so they may not apply to you.

4. General

You may terminate your license at any time. IBM may terminate your license if you fail to

comply with the terms and conditions of this license. In either event, you must destroy all

your copies of the Program. You are responsible for payment of any taxes, including

personal property taxes, resulting from this license. Neither party may bring an action,

regardless of form, more than two years after the cause of action arose. If you acquired the

Program in the United States, this license is governed by the laws of the State of New York.

If you acquired the Program in Canada, this license is governed by the laws of the Province

of Ontario. Otherwise, this license is governed by the laws of the country in which you

acquired the Program.

2 Selecting the Printer Settings

This chapter provides the information you need to configure this machine. In general you need to

use the operator panel only to make default settings. You can make most changes to the printer

settings using the printer driver through the application software.

Note Changes to printer settings made using a software application override changes made using the

operator panel.

This chapter contains explanations on the following topics:

• Status Pages

• Changing the Interface Parameters

•Emulation mode

• Default Font

• Print Configuration

• Setting Print Quality

• Paper Handling

• Operating the Storage Device

• e-MPS Function

• Other modes
