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.
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.

Introduction
xvii
This product has been expressly developed and produced in the interest of protecting the
environment over its entire product life and beyond.
Through the use of a new amorphous silicon drum and developer Kyocera has created a
revolutionary printing system that does not require the wasteful replacement and disposal of a
cartridge.

Introduction
xviii
Introduction
The Kyocera laser printer has many extremely desirable features. It was designed to make a
contribution to a cleaner environment as well as to represent the latest generation of page printer
technology.
Superb print quality
With an amorphous silicon drum, microfine ceramic toner, and the latest technology from Kyocera
such as KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement) function*, this laser printer delivers superb print quality and
clarity. (*See page 2-45.)
Ultra long life modules
The main modules in this laser printer such as the drum, developer unit and fuser unit, which are
disposable in conventional printers, are specifically designed for extraordinarily long life and need no
periodic replacement. The drum is made of amorphous silicon which is environmentally benign. The
only maintenance regularly needed therefore is to replenish the toner supply in the developer
approximately every 25,000 printed pages (A4 portrait at a printing rate of approximately 5%) and to
clean some parts inside the printer.
Amorphous silicon drum
Kyocera's own unique ceramics technology has led to the development of an extremely hard and
durable drum with extraordinarily long service life. Also, the drum has several excellent
photoconductive properties, such as stability and reliability in varying temperatures, resistance to heat
and solvent, etc., thus providing superb high resolution printing.
High speed printing
A3-size pages typically print at a rate of 16 pages per minute, B4 at 18 pages per minute, and A4
(landscape feed) at 28 pages per minute (when printing multiple copies of the same page). (Actual
printing time varies depending on what is being printed.)

Introduction
xix
Environmentally benign waste parts
The toner container is made out of a benign, flammable material. (Be sure to dispose of containers
according to local laws and regulations.)
Large paper capacity cassettes
Equipped at the bottom with a two-stage paper feeder, each paper cassette can hold approximately
500 sheets (80 g/m2, 0.11 mm thickness). There is also a multi-purpose tray with a capacity of
approximately 100 sheets. Paper can be output on a face-down output tray or an optional face-up
output tray. Either output tray can stack approximately 500 sheets of paper.
Scalable printing
This printer allows reductions between various paper sizes using the page setup function.
Bitmapped and scalable typefaces
In addition to its 79 internal bitmap fonts, the printer provides 45 fully-scalable resident typefaces that
are equivalent to HPLJ fonts. The scalable typefaces can be used at any size desired up to
999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments.
A new printer control language, PRESCRIBE IIe
PRESCRIBE IIe includes advanced graphics capabilities that allow you to print any conceivable outline
shape or solid form. Also provided are a variety of special effects, such as patterned fills, gray-scale
shading, a user-accessible print image model, and multiple page orientations and print directions
within the same page.
