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.
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.

The Kyocera Mita page 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.
This section contains the following subsections.
•Features
•For More Information...
•Guide to the Operation Guide
ix
This section outlines the common major printer features of the FS-3830N page printer.
Ultra long life modules
The drum, developer, and fuser have been designed for ultra long life.
Amorphous silicon drum
The drum has been developed using Kyocera’s unique ceramic technology using amorphous silicon.
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)
This is Kyocera’s original smoothing function. It uses software to enhance the printer’s resolution and produce high-quality printing. The default setting is On.
Superb print quality
Using 1200 dpi resolution in Fast 1200 mode or Fine 1200 mode, the printout is close to typeset quality. Also, with Kyocera Image Refinement (KIR) technology, high quality printing can be achieved even at 300 dpi and 600 dpi.
Large paper capacity
Approximately 500 sheets can be loaded into the paper cassette, and about 100 sheets can be loaded into the MP tray.
Wide variety of print media
As well as standard paper, the printer will print on transparency, labels and other types of special purpose media.
Sleep Mode
Conserves energy during the printer’s idle periods.
Ecoprint
Extends the toner yield by reducing the amount of toner used on the page.
Displaying printer messages in any of eight languages
Printer messages can be displayed in English, French, German, Italian,
Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese.
x
USB (Universal Serial Bus) Interface
This printer supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0 standards. Connection to a computer with a USB interface gives a higher communication speed than parallel interface connection.
e-MPS
‘e-MPS’ is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System,’ which is a post-processing function that combines electronic sorting, job retention, and virtual mailboxing.
When printing multiple copies of a document, the data is transferred from the computer to the printer only for the first copy; the data is then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Copies of the document are printed using the stored data.
Printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.
Furthermore, printed data that is stored on the hard disk can be called up using job retention functions, such as Quick Copy etc., allowing you to quickly print additional copies of a document from the printer at any time, without needing to re-spool the document or start up the computer system.
Printer control language PRESCRIBE
The printer uses PRESCRIBE, Kyocera Mita’s page printer control language with enhanced color graphics capabilities. The simple commands of PRESCRIBE allow the programmers to easily define pagination and device control.
KPDL3 (Kyocera Printer Description Language 3)
KPDL3 is the Kyocera’s implementation of the PostScript page description language Level 3. The printer has 80 fonts that are compatible with Adobe PostScript fonts. (The printer also has 80 PCL fonts.)
PDF direct printing
Allows you to send a selected PDF (version 1.4 or less) file directly to the printer without invoking a printer driver.
Account management system
The account management system function records the number of pages printed by each department. The administrator can preset the maximum number of pages that each department will be allowed to print.
xi
Microdrive (hard disk unit) slot for various functions such as job retention, VMB, and more
By saving print jobs onto the Microdrive, they can be printed out at the operator panel when desired. The electronic sort function can be used for much faster printing.
CompactFlash card slot for option fonts, macros, forms, etc.
Data in the CompactFlash card can be selectively read from the printer’s operator panel.
SNMP compliance
The printer complies with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The SNMP is used for providing and transferring management information (MIB) between the printer and the host computer.
Built-in and external network interfaces
Because the network interface supports TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI and EtherTalk protocols, network printing is possible with various environments including Windows, Macintosh, UNIX and NetWare, etc.
Support for network printer monitor utility (KM-NET VIEWER)
Allows network wide management of printers. See the readme file in the CD-ROM (comes with the printer) for details.
