This document describes additional information for warranty condition.

    Warranty Condition for PF-03


    The print head PF-03 carries a warranty described in the warranty statement. The condition is either one year from the purchase of the print head, or when the printers internal dot counter changes from a to b ., whichever comes first.

    Estimating the Extent of Print Head Warranty


    Since the internal dot counter used to verify the warranty validity does not indicate actual dot count, users cannot reliably estimate how much warranty period is left. To aid users to roughly estimate this warranty period within one year of purchase of a printer or a print head, we have calculated the following:

    Time from the Purchase of Print Head or Main Unit Less than one year More than one year

    Dot Counter a a b c d e f g

    Warranty Validity Valid Not Valid Not Valid Not Valid Not Valid Not Valid Not Valid Not Valid

    Ink Equivalent*

    4,000 ml 4,000 ml 4,000 8,000 ml 8,000 12,000 ml 12,000 16,000 ml 16,000 20,000 ml 20,000 24,000 ml 24,000 28,000 ml

    *Ink equivalent indicates total ink amount used per print head, and does not include ink used for print head maintenance. Actual ink consumption may be higher than stated estimate.
