Statement of Limited Warranty
The warranties provided by IBM* in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to
Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or an IBM
authorized re-seller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.
Machines are subject to these terms only if purchased in the United States or Puerto
Rico, or Canada, and located in the country of purchase. If you have any questions,
contact IBM or your re-seller.
Machine: Network Printer 17
Warranty Period*: 12 months
* Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information.
Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts
(which perform like new parts). In some cases, the Machine may not be new and may
have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine's production status, IBM's
warranty terms apply.
The IBM Warranty
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship
and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications. IBM calculates the
expiration of the warranty period from the Machine's Date of Installation. The date on
your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your re-seller informs you
otherwise.
During the warranty period, IBM or your re-seller will provide warranty service under the
type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and install engineering
changes that apply to the Machine. IBM or your re-seller will specify the type of
service.
For a feature, conversion, or upgrade, IBM or your re-seller may require that the
Machine on which it is installed be 1) the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2)
at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade.
Some of these transactions (called “Net-Priced” transactions) may include additional
parts and associated replacement parts that are provided on an exchange basis. All
removed parts become the property of IBM and must be returned to IBM.
Replacement parts assume the remaining warranty of the parts they replace.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM or your
re-seller will repair or replace it without charge. If IBM or your re-seller is unable to do
so, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
 Copyright IBM Corp. 1996, 1997 vii

If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to that user for
the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your proof of purchase and this
Statement to that user.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your re-seller or call
IBM. In the United States or Canada, call your point of purchase or IBM customer
technical support at 1-800-358-6661 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m, Eastern Standard
Time. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
Depending on the Machine, the service may be 1) mail-in repair at IBM's Depot location
(called Depot Mail-in Repair), 2) a “Repair” service at your location (called “On-site”), 3)
a “Repair” service at one of IBM's or a re-seller's service locations (called “Carry-in”), or
4) “Exchange” service, either On-site or Carry-in.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or
your re-seller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. The
replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.
It is your responsibility to:
1. Obtain authorization from the owner (for example, your lessor) to have IBM or your
re-seller service a Machine that you do not own;
2. Where applicable, before service is provided:
a. Follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your re-seller provide,
b. Secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. Inform IBM or your re-seller of changes in a Machine's location, and
d. For a Machine with exchange service, remove all features, parts, options,
alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. Also, the Machine
must be free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
and
3. If the machine is not shipped in an IBM box, be responsible for loss of, or damage
to, a Machine in transit when you are responsible for the transportation charges.
4. Be responsible for any damage resulting from improper packing of a Machine sent
to IBM for “Depot Mail-in Repair” or “Exchange.”
Extent of Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper
maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible
may void the warranties.

THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. HOWEVER,
SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF
THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE
LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY
AFTER THAT PERIOD.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitation may not apply to you.
Limitation of Warranty
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part (including
fundamental breach) or other liability (including negligence and misrepresentation), you
are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the
basis on which you are entitled to claim damages, IBM is liable only for:
1. bodily injury (including death), and damage to real property and tangible personal
property; and
2. the amount of any other actual loss or damage, up to the greater of $100,000 or
the charge for the Machine that is the subject of the claim.
Under no circumstances is IBM liable for any of the following:
1. third-party claims against you for losses or damages (other than those under the
first item listed above);
2. loss of, or damage to, your records or data; or
3. economic consequential damages (including lost profits or savings) or incidental
damages, even if IBM is informed of their possibility.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which
vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Safety Precautions
Electrical Safety
This printer is inspected and listed by recognized national testing laboratories, such as
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) in the U.S.A. and Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) in Canada. Listing of a product by a national testing laboratory
indicates that the product is designed and manufactured in accordance with national
requirements intended to minimize safety hazards. IBM equipment meets a very high
standard of safety in design and manufacture. Remember, however, that this product
operates under conditions of high electrical potentials and heat generation, both of
which are functionally necessary.
Because the paper and toner used in the printer can burn, you should take normal
precautions to prevent fire. These precautions include common-sense measures, such
as keeping potentially combustible materials (for example, curtains and chemicals)
away from the printer, providing adequate ventilation and cooling, limiting unattended
operation, and having trained personnel available and assigned to the printer.
