Under this product warranty, Customer must notify Tektronix or its authorized service representative of the defect before the expiration of the warranty period. To obtain service under this warranty, the Customer must first contact Tektronix Telephone Support personnel or that of its authorized service representative. Telephone Support personnel will work to resolve issues professionally and quickly, however the Customer must reasonably assist Tektronix or its authorized representative.

If telephone support is unsuccessful, Tektronix or its authorized service representative will provide warranty repair at Customer's site without charge as provided below.

■

Inside the European Economic Area, service is available within the customary on-site service area for products purchased in the EEA

A description of the customary on-site service area may be obtained from the local Tektronix subsidiary or authorized Tektronix distributor. On-site service is at Tektronix or its authorized service representative’s sole discretion and is considered an option of last resort.

If the Customer’s product contains features that enable Tektronix or its authorized service representative to diagnose and repair problems with the product remotely, Tektronix may request that Customer allow such remote access to the product.

In the maintenance of the product, Tektronix may use new or equivalent to new parts or assemblies for equal or improved quality. All defective parts and assemblies become the property of Tektronix. Tektronix, at its option, may request the return of these parts.

Tektronix warrants that the Customer Replaceable Consumables (CRCs) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days (six (6) months where longer periods are required by law) from the date of installation, but not more than one (1) year from date of shipment. Under this warranty, the Customer must notify Tektronix or its authorized service representative of the defect before the expiration of the warranty period.

TEKTRONIX AND ITS VENDORS DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY SIMILAR STANDARD IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LEGISLATION. TEKTRONIX' RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR, REPLACE, OR OFFER A REFUND FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMER REPLACEABLE CONSUMABLES IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVIDED TO THE CUSTOMER FOR BREACH OF THESE WARRANTIES.

For the software warranty please see the end user license agreement included with the software.

If you are an Australian consumer, you should be aware that the Trade Practices Act 1974 and equivalent State and Territory legislation (collectively "the Acts") contain special provisions designed to protect Australian consumers. Nothing in any Tektronix warranty material excludes or limits the application of any provision of any of the Acts, where to do so would contravene the Acts or cause any part of this warranty to be void. In this warranty material, an implied condition or warranty, the exclusion of which from a contract with a "Consumer" (as defined in the Acts) would contravene any provision of the Acts or cause any part or all of this warranty to be void, is called a "Non-excludable Condition". To the full extent permitted by law, Tektronix’s sole and total liability to the customer for a breach of any Non-excludable Condition (including for any consequential loss suffered by the customer) is limited, except as otherwise stated herein, to (at Tektronix’ option) replacing or repairing the goods, or resupplying, or paying the cost of the resupply of, the services, in respect of which the breach occurred. Subject to the above, all conditions and warranties which would or might otherwise be implied in a Consumer contract, whether by operation of statute, inference from circumstances, industry practice or otherwise, are excluded.

detailed list of paper types and sizes.

■ When you select a tray by location (Upper, Middle, Lower) from a

printer driver, the printer feeds from that tray.

■ Always keep stored paper, transparencies, and labels, in sealed

packages to avoid the effects of moisture which can affect feed reliability.

■ Always use the manual-feed slot for heavy paper and envelopes.

■ Handle transparencies by the edges and with both hands to avoid

fingerprints and creases, which can result in poor print quality.

■ Do not use three-hole punched paper, perforated paper, or an

unsupported paper size.

■ If any of the labels on a sheet are missing, do not use that sheet; it

may damage printer components.

Caution

Keep labels in a cool, dry place. Never store labels in a high-humidity environment. Labels stored under such conditions will jam in the printer. Store unused labels flat in their containers. Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage can cause the labels to curl and will jam the printer.

Moving the printer

All moves

Follow these guidelines when moving the printer within the office and preparing it for shipment:

1. The printer must be cool before moving it; otherwise, ink spills

may damage the printer. Use this method:

a. Close all of the printer’s covers and doors.

b. Turn off the printer. Before the front panel goes blank (you

have only 4 seconds), select Shut Down For Moving Printer.

c. The printer takes about 15 minutes to cool; during that time,

the front panel reports its progress. When the cool-down is complete, the front panel goes blank. It is now safe to move the printer.

2. Removing the upper paper tray provides a place for your hands

when lifting the printer.

3. Always move the printer separately from its High-Capacity Paper

Tray Assembly.
