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.

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

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.

4-8 RAM disk settings

RAM Disk

In this machine, it is possible to create a RAM Disk, or a portion of memory that is used as a virtual disk. By creating a RAM Disk of a desired size
from among the total memory in the printer, it is possible to perform electronic sorting (which shortens the overall time required for printing) as well
as to save data to and retrieve data from that disk very quickly.
The RAM disk function is not available when the optional hard disk is installed.

IMPORTANT!

The RAM Disk is created from that portion of the printer’s memory that is normally available to the user. Thus, if the size of the RAM disk created is
too large, printing speed may actually be decreased or the machine may run out of available memory.
WARNING: Resetting the printer or turning the main switch OFF (O) will erase all data written to the RAM Disk.

The factory default setting for the RAM Disk is “OFF” . In order to create a RAM Disk, make the necessary settings as shown below.

Additional Memory

This machine comes standard with 32 MB of memory installed. By adding more memory, more complex printing can be accomplished and printing
speed can be increased. There are two slots available for adding memory and increasing the memory installed in this machine to up to a maximum
of 256 MB.

Hard Disk

If the optional hard disk is installed in this machine, received and rasterized data can be saved onto that disk. When printing out multiple sets of the
same documents, this allows faster printing with the collating function as well as enabling the use of the e-MPS function.

Barcode Reader

If the optional barcode reader is installed in this machine, the machine can read barcodes that are in the job list and print the corresponding data
that is saved on the hard disk.
For detailed information, refer to the Instruction Manual for the Barcode Reader.

2-6-1 Printing with the e-MPS (Job Storage) function

The e-MPS function is a new feature that combines the functions of job storing, virtual mailboxes and printing from barcodes. With it, you
can make multiple copies by sending the print data from your PC once. The data is stored on the printer’s hard disk and used to make
subsequent copies. Storing the print data on the hard disk speeds up printing, minimizes spooling from the PC and lessens network load
and enables the use of Quick Copy and other functions. For example, with Quick Copy you can make additional copies using data on the
hard disk without requiring PC drive.
* The optional hard disk must be installed in order to use the e-MPS (Job Storage) function.
