period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty service will

Appendix
Limitations
This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak’s control. This warranty does
not apply when failure is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration, modification,
unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with incompatible accessories or attachments
(such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak’s operation, maintenance
or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by Kodak (such as adapters and
cables), or claims made after the duration of this warranty.
Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product, and

replacement, or refund is Kodak’s only obligation. Kodak will not be responsible for any
special, consequential or incidental damages resulting from the sale, purchase, or use
of this product regardless of the cause. Liability for any special, consequential or
incidental damages (including but not limited to loss of revenue or profit, downtime

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: 1) reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation
between the equipment and the receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for additional suggestions. Any changes or
22
Appendix
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
