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.

Introduction

This TA Triumph-Adler 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

Page 12

Features

This section outlines the common major printer features of the LP 3033 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 the unique ceramic technology using amorphous silicon.

KIR (KM Image Refinement)

This is KM ’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 KM 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.

Page 13

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, a 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

KPDL3 is the 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.

Page 14

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.

• Cassette Mode This is the default mode. The MP tray acts in the same manner as other paper source. The printer can correctly feed paper from any paper source as you command on the printer driver. The cassette mode provides a faster printing speed than the first mode.

•First Mode The MP tray automatically feeds paper placed on the MP tray overriding another paper source that is selected on the printer driver. After all paper sheets in the MP tray have been used up (approximately 100 sheets [A4 size, 0.11 mm thickness]), paper will be fed from the paper source originally selected. This mode is convenient to feed paper of special size or type without reloading the current paper source. However, the MP tray must be kept empty if you desire to feed paper from the intended paper source.

Note

This menu does not appears when the option envelope feeder is installed on the printer.

The maximum capacity for the MP tray of 100 sheets is based on A4 paper. If you use Legal size paper on the MP tray, the number of paper you use should be considerably smaller than 100 sheets to avoid possible paper jam.

To switch the MP tray to First mode, proceed as follows:

e-MPS

Note

e-MPS is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System’ which implements the following functions that are available from the printer driver:

• Job Retention

• Job Storage

In either job mode, when printing a document, the print data is transferred from the computer to the printer then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Since copies of the document are printed using the stored data, printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.

• To use the e-MPS system, an option hard disk must be installed in the printer. For details, see Appendix A Options.

• The RAM disk may also be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes. See Activating the RAM Disk on page 1-81 for details on RAM disk setup.

Job Retention

Job Retention has four modes as summarized below. These modes are selected when you choose on the printer driver through the application software:

Job Storage

Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently, or in virtual mailboxes, as you click an appropriate radio button on the printer driver when printing from a computer.

Virtual Mailbox

Virtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobs on the Virtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobs on the hard disk without printing. It enables you to retrieve jobs later from the operator panel or the KM-NET Printer Disk Manager utility in the CD- ROM.

Each mailbox may be used by an individual who desires to share the printer in this mode. By default, each mailbox is numbered from ‘Tray 001,’ ‘Tray 002,’ ... etc. To ‘post’ a job in one of these mailboxes, you assign a numbered or named mailbox on the printer driver when printing.

To retrieve the stored job for printing, see Retrieving Jobs from Virtual

Mailbox (VMB) on page 1-68.

Quick Copy

Note

The virtual mailbox can be used in PCL 6 emulation only.

This mode enables you to print the requested number of copies of a job, simultaneously storing the job on the Microdrive. When additional copies are required, you can reprint the required number of copies from the printer operator panel. To print a job as a quick copy job, see KX Printer

Drivers Operation Guide.

The default number of print jobs that can be stored on the Microdrive is 32. This value can be increased to up to 50 from the e-MPS Configuration menu. For details, see e-MPS Configuration on page 1-70. When the number of jobs reaches the limit, the oldest job will be overwritten by the new one.

When the printer is turned off, all stored jobs will be deleted.

Operating the Storage Device

The printer supports three types of storage devices: CompactFlash card, Microdrive, and RAM disk.

The printer is equipped with a slot for a CompactFlash card and a Microdrive. By inserting a CompactFlash card or Microdrive into the printer, the following operations become available. For details about the handling of the CompactFlash card and Microdrive, see Appendix A.

The following procedure assumes use of a CompactFlash card. The similar procedure can be applied when using the Microdrive.

You can format the Microdrive using the operator panel when the first time you installed a new Microdrive. About formatting a new Microdrive.

Note

Activating the RAM Disk

The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer memory that can temporarily store print jobs for electronic sorting. The stored print job can then be used to print multiple copies of the job reducing the total amount of period required to print the whole job. It acts similar to the option Microdrive except that the data is effective only during the printer is powered up.

Operating the Storage Device

To set up the RAM disk, the option Microdrive must not be installed.

To use the RAM disk, activate and enter the desired size of the RAM disk in the manner described below. The maximum RAM disk size can be calculated as follows:

Maximum RAM disk size = Total printer memory - 9 MB

For example, if the total memory installed in your printer is 96 MB, you can set 87 MB of RAM disk. If you attempt to set the RAM disk size beyond this restriction, the printer automatically round it down so that the size is always 9 MB less than the total printer memory. Once the RAM disk size is set, the printer must be reset.

By default, the RAM disk is not activated (Off). To confirm the RAM disk size or activate the RAM disk, proceed as follows:

Press the MENU key.

Press the or key repeatedly until RAM Disk Mode > appears.

RAM Disk Mode Off
