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. Y our 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.
SUPPLEMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR SOFTWARE BUNDLING AND DISTRIBUTION FOR ALDC
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
iii
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. Y ou are responsible for payment of any t axes, 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.

operator panel.
This chapter contains explanations on the following topics:
•Status Pages
•Changing the Interface Parameters
•Emulation Mode
•Default Font
•Print Configuration
•Setting Print Quality
•Paper Handling
•Operating the Storage Device
•e-MPS Function

Changing Parallel Interface Mode
The parallel interface supports a bi-directional/high-speed mode according to IEEE standards.
Normally, this interface is used under the default setting Auto.
ItemDescription
AutoThe printer automatically changes its communication mode to that of the host
computer. Ordinarily, you should leave this setting unchanged.
NormalThe printer uses the standard communication method recommended for
Centronics interfaces.
High SpeedThis mode enables faster data transmission between the machine and the host
computer. (Select this mode if printing problems occur when the machine is
connected to a workstation.)
Nibble (high)High speed data communication is used in compliance with the IEEE 1284
standard.
Important!Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standard.
