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: 3130
Warranty Period: 90 days
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.
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.
 Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 1996 vii

Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your re-seller or call
IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378). In Canada,
call IBM at 1-800-465-6666. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
Depending on the Machine, the service may be 1) a “Repair” service at your
location (called “On-site”) or at one of IBM's or a re-seller's service locations (called
“Carry-in”) or 2) an “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. be responsible for loss of, or damage to, a Machine in transit when you are
responsible for the transportation charges.
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.
viii 3130 User's Guide

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 Notices
There are three levels of safety notices:
DANGER calls attention to a situation that is potentially or extremely hazardous to
people.
CAUTION calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people.
Attention calls attention to the possibility of damage to a program, device, system,
or data. Attention notices are located throughout this publication, but are not listed

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.
Laser Safety This printer complies with the performance standards set by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration for a Class 1 Laser Product. This means that the printer
belongs to a class of laser products that does not product hazardous laser
radiation. This classification was accomplished by providing the necessary
protective housing and scanning safeguards to ensure that laser radiation is
inaccessible or within Class 1 limits.
There are various tool-operated machine covers that should be moved, removed, or
replaced only by trained service personnel. There are no operator controls or
adjustments associated with the laser.
No operator maintenance is required to keep the product in compliance as a Class
1 Laser Product. No adjustments that affect laser operation or power are
accessible to the operator.
This printer is a Class 1 Laser Product that contains an enclosed Class 3B laser.

Preface
The IBM 3130 Advanced Function Printer: User's Guide explains how to operate
and maintain the IBM 3130 Advanced Function Printer.
Audience This publication is intended for users and key operators of the IBM 3130 Advanced
Function Printer. Both users and key operators should have a basic understanding
of computer equipment and computer operations.
A
user is someone who sends print jobs to the printer and performs basic functions
related to printing and picking up those print jobs. Chapter 2 contains information
about basic tasks that users perform. Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 are also directed
to users. Some topics in chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 describe tasks performed only by
key operators.
A
key operator is someone designated to handle more complex printer functions,
such as replacing the toner cartridge. The key operator helps keep the printer in
optimal working order and changes printer settings as needed. All chapters are
directed to key operators.
An
administrator (either a systems administrator or LAN administrator) is someone
designated to set up attachment configurations, job management options, and font
management options for the printer.
A
customer engineer (IBM service representative) may also refer to this publication.
The customer engineer is responsible for service actions, such as maintaining
preventive maintenance logs and event logs, performing disk operations, and
running printer diagnostics.
