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.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

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.

Interface connectors
Important note on the interface connectors
Be sure to turn off printer power before connecting or disconnecting an interface cable to the printer. For pro-
tection against static discharge which may be applied to the printer's internal electronics through the inter-
face connector(s), keep any interface connector which is not in use capped using the protective cap supplied.
☛Use shielded interface cable.
Safety information
Laser safety
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.
This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the
printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape
from the printer during any phase of user operation.
Laser notice
This printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter for Class I
(1) laser products, and elsewhere iscertified as a Class I laser product conforming to therequirements of IEC
825-1
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION
Laser radiation when open. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM ORVIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.

CDRH regulations
The Center of Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration imple-
mented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manu-
factured after August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. A label
indicating compliance with the CDRH regulations must be attached to laser products marketed in the

Prolonged Non-Use and Moving the Printer
Prolonged Non-use
If you ever leave the printer unused for a long period of time, remove the power cord from the wall outlet.
We recommend you consult with your dealer about the additional actions you should take to avoid possible
damages that may occur when the printer is used next time.
Moving the Printer
When you move the printer:
❒Move it gently.
❒Keep it as level as possible, to avoid spilling toner inside the printer.
❒If you need to move the printer to another location, first remove the toner container, developer unit, and
waste toner bottle. After removing the developer unit from the printer, wrap it in the supplied plastic bag
and place it into the box in which the toner container is packaged. Make sure that the waste toner bottle
is securely capped and place it in the plastic bag together with the toner container. Be sure to consult a
serviceman before attempting long-distance transportation of the printer.
(1) Remove the developer unit. (2) Close the protect cover. (3) Pack the developer unit.
To reinstall the developer unit in the printer, use the reverse procedure of the above.
