Introduction

❏ If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or
consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in
the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of
the correct size and rating.
When using this product
❏ Do not put your hand inside this product or touch
the ink cartridges during printing.
❏ Do not move the print heads by hand; otherwise
you may damage this product.
❏ Always turn the product off using the Power button
on the control panel. When this button is pressed,
the Power light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not
unplug the power cord or turn off the product until
the Power light stops flashing.
When handling the ink
cartridges
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and
do not drink.
❏ If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and
water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
with water.
❏ Before installing the new ink cartridge in the
printer, shake it back and forth horizontally in five
centimeter movements about 15 times within five
seconds.
❏ Use the ink cartridge before the date printed on its
package.
❏ Use up the ink cartridge within six months of
installation for best results.
❏ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill
them. This could damage the print head.
❏ Do not touch the IC chip on the side of the cartridge.
This may affect normal operation and printing.
❏ The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of
cartridge-related information, such as the ink
cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be
removed and reinserted freely. However, each time
the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed
because the printer automatically performs a
reliability check.
❏ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect
the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in
the same environment as this product. Note that
there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers
or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge
touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or
surrounding area.

Features
The main features of this printer are described below.
Realizing High Resolution
The newly developed ink technology provides high
definition for photo, fine art, and proofing paper.
Pigmented inks with superior
resistance
Pigment inks maintain more beautiful and more vibrant
prints over a long period of time with their high light
fastness. They are also extremely fade-resistant and can
be safely displayed in direct sunlight. Additionally, the
high water and ozone resistance is not only ideal for
photo printing, but also allows for store displays and
banners, outdoor displays of posters and so on. When
you are printing for outdoor use, use lamination
processing.
Two types of black ink with maximum
black density (Dmax)
By automatically switching to suit the paper type being
used, the two types of black ink provided are Photo
Black which realizes a smooth, professional finish on
glossy paper, and Matte Black which increases black
optical density using matte paper. The maximum
density (Dmax) improves on previous black inks and
brings out delicate tone differences in gradations.

In addition, the other seven colors, including
Orange and Green, realize superior color
reproduction creating bright and vivid images in
green to yellow and yellow to red.
❏ Violet inkset providing a wide range of color
reproduction
As well as Orange and Green, this set comes with
eight color inks including the newly developed
Violet. By realizing superior color reproduction
creating bright and vivid images in green to yellow
and yellow to red, as well as deep shades of blue, we
have achieved the industry's best PANTONE cover
ratio.
Basic eight color inks including three types of
black (SC-P8000 Series/SC-P6000 Series)
The Epson UltraChrome HD (SC-P8000 Series/
SC-P6000 Series) ink realizes delicate tone differences
in black-and-white images using three types of black ink
density, Photo Black, Light Black, and Light Light Black,
in addition to five basic color inks for photo and
proofing.
Superior Ease of Use
Spindle-free roll paper adapter
makes loading roll paper a snap
The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and
remove roll paper even in environments where space is
at a premium. To load roll paper, simply place it on the
top of the printer and attach roll paper adapters to both
ends.
U “Loading Roll Paper” on page 28
Improved color adjustment function
(Epson Color Calibration Utility)
The Epson Color Calibration Utility software provided
on the software disc supplied allows you to easily
perform color calibration using the printer's built-in
sensors. You do not need to purchase an optional or
commercially available color measurement device.
Adjust all prints with one calibration
By saving the calibration data to the printer, you do not
need to perform calibration for every paper type or
mode. Also, you do not need to make individual
calibrations when sharing the printer with multiple
users.
Perform color management for multiple printers
You can perform color management for multiple
printers that are the same model and use the same
inkset.
See the Epson Color Calibration Utility manual for
details.
Improved energy efficiency with
sleep mode and Power Off Timer
When no print jobs are being handled, or when no
operation has been performed for some time, the printer
enters sleep mode to reduce power consumption.
Furthermore, if the Power Off Timer function is
enabled, the printer can automatically switch off to
avoid wasting electricity. This function works if no print
jobs are received and no operations are carried out on
the control panel while the printer is not in an error
status for a specified duration of time.
U “Turning Off the Power Using Power Off Timer” on
page 56
Various Options
Optimized printing (Hard disk unit)
When the hard disk unit is installed, print jobs can be
saved, queued, and reprinted. Saved print jobs can also
be printed from the printer's control panel. This reduces
the time from starting your computer and printing from
an application, as well as allowing you to reprint quickly.

Automatic color management
(SpectroProofer mounter)
With the SpectroProofer Mounter 24"/44" installed, you
can perform printing, drying, and color measurement
operations in sequence on roll paper. Another optional
color measurement device ILS30EP can be used for a
variety of color measurement conditions including the
new M1 standard. (Supports M0/M1/M2)
Also, the 44" model is up to two times faster than
conventional models, provides more accurate readings
with the addition of a function to prevent misaligned
measurement position, and realizes savings by reducing
the amount of paper used to print charts by half of the
conventional model ratio.
To use this you need commercially available RIP
software.
Efficient continuous printing on roll
paper (Auto take-up reel unit)
When using the optional auto take-up reel unit with the
SC-P9000 Series/SC-P8000 Series, roll paper can be
automatically wound up after printing for efficient
continuous printing.

❏ Do not install the printer next to heat sources or
directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in the print head nozzles drying and
clogging.
❏ The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs and
the printer is turned off without first resolving the
error. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on
the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head
may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the
power and wait a while until capping is performed
automatically.
❏ Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will be
consumed by head cleaning and other maintenance
operations needed to keep the print head in good
condition.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏ If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you print once a week to prevent the print head
from clogging.
❏ The roller may leave an impression on paper that is
left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or curled
paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the
print head could be scratched. Remove any paper
when storing.
❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is positioned
at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for
a long time, the print quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏ To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before
placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
The print head nozzles are very small, and they can
become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print
head, and you may not be able to print properly.
❏ When turned on after an extended period of disuse,
the printer may automatically perform head
cleaning to ensure print quality.
U “Timer Cleaning” on page 125
Notes on handling ink cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink cartridges
to maintain good print quality.
❏ The supplied ink cartridges and Maintenance Box
are for use during the initial charging. The supplied
ink cartridges and Maintenance Box will be require
replacement relatively quickly.
❏ We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
❏ For optimum print quality, we recommend using
up ink within six months after installing in the
printer.
❏ Ink cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
❏ Do not touch the IC chips on the ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
❏ Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot
print if any of the slots are empty.
❏ Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The ink in the printer may dry, preventing
it from printing as expected. Leave ink cartridges in
all slots even while you do not use the printer.
❏ The ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being
removed and replaced.

❏ To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store
the removed ink cartridge properly. The ink supply
port has a valve in it so it does not need to be capped.
❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the
ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on
the surrounding area when removing the
cartridges.
❏ To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended.
❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
❏ Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
❏ Do not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard
objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
Notes on handling paper
Note the following points when handling and storing
the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print
quality may decline.
Check the documentation supplied with each paper.
Notes on Handling
❏ Use Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 15 to 25˚C, humidity: 40
to 60%).
❏ Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
❏ Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your
hands can affect print quality.
❏ Handle paper by the edges. We recommend
wearing cotton gloves.
❏ Changes in temperature and humidity may cause
paper to become wavy or curled. Be careful not to
scratch or soil the paper, and flatten it before
loading it in the printer.
❏ Do not wet the paper.
❏ Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can
use it for storing the paper.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
❏ Keep cut sheets in their original package after
opening, and keep them in a flat place.
❏ Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in the
original packaging that came with the roll paper. If
you leave the roll paper in the printer for a long
time, its quality may decline.
Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note
the following points.
❏ Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are
rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
❏ Do not touch the printed surface; Failure to observe
this precaution may cause ink to rub off.
❏ Make sure the print outs are completely dry before
folding of stacking; otherwise, the color may change
where they touch (leaves a mark). These marks will
disappear if they are separated immediately and
dried; however, they will remain if not separated.
❏ If you put the print outs in an album before they are
completely dry, they may be blurred.
❏ Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
❏ Avoid direct sunlight.
❏ Prevent color distortion while displaying or storing
the print outs by following the instructions in the
paper's documentation.

Note:
Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color
distortion) due to the effects of light and various
constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson special
media. However, with the correct storage method, the
degree of color distortion can be minimized.
❏ See the documentation supplied with Epson special
media for detailed information on handling the
paper after printing.

Changing the Type of
Black Ink
This printer allows you to set both photo black ink and
matte black ink and switch between them depending on
the paper type.
Photo Black ink reduces the grainy feeling of photo
papers giving them a smooth, professional finish. Matte
Black ink significantly increases black optical density
when printing on matte type papers.
See the following section to select a suitable black ink for
the media type.
U “Epson Special Media Table” on page 159
Note:
If there is not enough ink remaining for the switch, you
will need to replace the cartridge. It may be possible to
print with ink cartridges that could not be used for a black
ink switch.

Borderless Printing
You can print your data without margins on the paper.
The types of borderless printing you can choose vary as
shown below depending on the media type.
Roll Paper: No margins for all edges, no margins for the
left and right
Cut Sheets: No margins for the left and right only
(Borderless printing is not available with poster board.)
When printing borderless for all edges, you can also
configure the cutting operation.
U “About Roll Paper Cutting” on page 79
When performing left and right borderless printing,
margins appear on the top and bottom of the paper.
Top and bottom margin values U “Printable area” on
page 52
Types of Borderless Printing
Methods
You can perform borderless printing using the
following two methods.
❏ Auto Expand
The printer driver enlarges the print data to a size
slightly larger than the paper size and prints the
enlarged image. The sections which are beyond the
paper edges are not printed; therefore, resulting in
borderless printing.
Use settings such as Page Setup in the applications
to set the size of the image data as follows.
- Match the paper size and page setting for the print
data.
- If the application has margin settings, set the
margins to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
❏ Retain Size
Create the print data larger than the paper size in
the applications to produce borderless output. The
printer driver does not enlarge the image data. Use
settings such as Page Setup in the applications to set
the size of the image data as follows.
- Create print data larger than its actual print size by 3
mm on the left and right (6 mm in total).
- If the application has margin settings, set the
margins to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
Select this setting if you want to avoid image
enlargement by the printer driver.

Depending on the media type or size, the print quality
may decline or borderless printing cannot be selected.

About Roll Paper Cutting
When performing borderless printing on roll paper, you can specify whether it is left and right borderless printing or
all edges borderless printing, and how to cut the paper in the printer driver's Roll Paper Option. The cutting operation
for each value is shown in the following chart.
Printer driver
settings
Normal Cut Single Cut Double Cut
Cutting Operation
Explanation
The default printer driver setting
is Normal Cut.
❏ The top area may become
slightly uneven depending
on the image since the print
operation stops while
cutting the top edge of the
roll paper.
❏ If the cut position is
misaligned slightly, small
parts of the image may be
shown on the top or
bottom of the adjacent
pages. If this occurs,
perform Adjust Cut
Position.
U “Maintenance” on
page 114
❏ When you print one page
only or print one page
multiple times, the
operation is the same as
that for Double Cut. When
continuously printing
multiple sheets, the printer
cuts 1 mm inside on the top
edge of the first page and
the bottom edge of the
subsequent pages to avoid
showing margins.
❏ The top area may become
slightly uneven depending
on the image since the print
operation stops while
cutting the top edge of the
roll paper.
❏ The printed paper is
approximately 2 mm
shorter than the specified
size since the printer cuts
the paper inside the image
to avoid showing top and
bottom margins.
❏ After cutting the bottom
edge of the previous page,
the printer feeds the paper,
and then cuts the top edge
of the following page.
Although this produces 60
to 127 mm cut-off pieces,
the cut is more accurate.

Poster Printing (Enlarge
to cover several sheets
and print - Windows only)
The poster printing function automatically enlarges and
divides the print data. You can join the printed sheets to
create a large poster or calendar. Poster printing is
available up to 16-fold (four sheets by four sheets) of
normal printing size. There are two ways to print
posters.
❏ Borderless poster printing
This automatically enlarges and divides the print
data and prints without margins. You can make a
poster just by joining the output paper together. To
perform borderless printing, the data is expanded
so that it extends slightly over the paper size.
Enlarged areas that exceed the paper are not
printed. Therefore, the image may misalign at the
joins. To join the pages precisely, perform the
following poster printing with margins.
❏ Poster printing with margins
This automatically enlarges and divides the print
data and prints with margins. You need to cut the
margins and then join the output paper together to
make a poster. Although the final size is slightly
smaller since you have to cut off the margins, the
image joins fit precisely.

About Color Management
Even when using the same image data, the original
image and the displayed image may look different, and
the printed results may look different to the image you
see on the display. This occurs due to the difference in
characteristics when input devices such as scanners and
digital cameras capture colors as electronic data, and
when output devices such as display screens and
printers reproduce colors from the color data. The color
management system is a means to adjust differences in
color conversion characteristics among input and
output devices. As well as applications for image
processing, each operating system is equipped with a
color management system, such as ICM for Windows
and ColorSync for Mac OS X.
In a color management system, a color definition file
called a "Profile" is used to perform color matching
between devices. (This file is also called an ICC profile.)
The profile of an input device is called an input profile
(or source profile), and the profile of an output device,
such as a printer, is called a printer profile (or output
profile). A profile is prepared for each media type in this
printer's driver.
The color conversion areas by the input device and the
color reproduction area by the output device differ. As a
result, there are color areas that do not match even when
performing color matching using a profile. In addition
to specifying profiles, the color management system
also specifies conversion conditions for areas where
color matching failed as "intent". The name and type of
intent vary depending on the color management system
you are using.
You cannot match the colors on the printed results and
display by color management between the input device
and the printer. To match both colors, you need to
perform color management between the input device
and the display as well.
Color Management Print
Settings
You can perform color management printing using this
printer's printer driver in the following two ways.
Choose the best method according to the application
you are using, the operating system environment, the
aim of the print out, and so on.
Setting color management with the applications
This method is for printing from applications that
support color management. All color management
processes are carried out by the application's color
management system. This method is useful when you
want to obtain the same color management print results
using a common application among different operating
system environments.
U “Setting color management with the applications”
on page 102
Setting color management with the printer driver
The printer driver uses the operating system's color
management system and carries out all color
management processes. You can make color
management settings in the printer driver using the
following two methods.
❏ Host ICM (Windows) / ColorSync (Mac OS X)
Set when printing from applications that support
color management. This is effective in producing
similar print results from different applications
under the same operating systems.
U “Color management printing by Host ICM
(Windows)” on page 104
U “Color management printing by ColorSync
(Mac OS X)” on page 105
❏ Driver ICM (Windows only)
This allows you to perform color management
printing from applications that do not support
color management.

Setting profiles
Settings for the input profile, printer profile, and intent
(matching method) vary between three types of color
management printing since their color management
engines are used differently. This is because color
management usage differs between the engines. Make

Paper Suction
-4 to 0 (0
*
)
It is important to choose the appropriate amount of suction for the paper
used in order to maintain the correct distance between the paper and the
print head. Choosing too high a value for thin or soft paper will increase
the distance between the paper and the print head, causing print quality
to decline or preventing the paper feeding correctly. In such cases, you will
need to lower the paper suction. The suction power is weakened when the
parameter is lowered.
Drying Time Per Pass
0 to 10 seconds (0
*
)
Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each pass.
Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds. Depending on the
paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. If the ink blurs on the paper, set
a longer time for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.

You need to perform print head maintenance if white
lines appear in your print outs or if you notice the print
quality has declined.
Maintenance Operations
You can perform the following printer maintenance
functions for maintaining the print head in good
condition to ensure the best print quality. Carry out
appropriate maintenance depending on the print
results and situation.
Automatically detecting clogged
nozzles
The printer has functions that allow it to automatically
detect the position of clogged nozzles in the print head
and perform cleaning without having to print a nozzle
check pattern.
Note:
❏ This function does not guarantee 100% detection of
clogged nozzles.
❏ A small amount of ink is consumed when detecting
clogged nozzles.
❏ Ink is consumed when performing automatic
cleaning.
You can set the following two items on the Printer Setup

Important:
Even if Auto Cleaning Setting from Auto Nozzle
Check is set to Off, an auto nozzle check is always
performed at the following times.
❏ After initial ink charging
An auto nozzle check is performed after ink
charging to check the status of the nozzles. If
clogged nozzles are detected, auto cleaning is
performed once.
❏ Before changing the type of black ink
Since black inks cannot be changed correctly if
nozzles are clogged, an auto nozzle check is
performed. If nozzles are clogged, auto cleaning
is performed (up to three times) until the
nozzles are cleared regardless of the Auto
Clean Max Repeat setting.
Timer Cleaning
After the set time has passed from the end of the
previous print job, auto cleaning is performed when the
following operations are performed. If the nozzles are
not clogged, cleaning is not performed.
❏ The printer is turned on.
❏ The printer returns from sleep mode.
Checking for clogged nozzles using
the printed check pattern
The following two methods are available.
On-Demand Nozzle Check Pattern
We recommend printing a nozzle check pattern and
performing a visual inspection before printing when the
printer has not been used for an extended period or
when printing important print jobs. Visually inspect the
printed pattern and clean the print head if you notice
faint or missing areas.

Notes on Head Cleaning
Ink is consumed during head cleaning.
Clean the print head only if print quality declines; for
example, if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect
or missing.
When cleaning all nozzles, ink is consumed from all
colors.
Even if you are using only black inks for black and white
printing, color inks are also consumed.
Prepare a new maintenance box if there is not
enough empty space in the box.
If you repeat head cleaning several times in a short
period, the ink in the maintenance box may become full
soon as ink does not evaporate quickly from the
maintenance box.
Powerful Cleaning consumes much more ink than
Head Cleaning in the Maintenance menu.
Check the remaining ink level in advance, and prepare a
new ink cartridge before you start cleaning if the ink is
low.
If the nozzles are still clogged after performing
Powerful Cleaning, turn off the printer and leave it
overnight or longer.
When left for some time, the clogged ink may dissolve.
If the nozzles are still clogged, contact your dealer or

Adjusting print misalignments
(Head Alignment)
If lines are misaligned or print results are grainy,
perform Head Alignment to adjust the print
misalignment.
The print head fires ink when moving to the left and to
the right while printing. Since there is a short distance
(gap) between the paper surface and the print head, a
print misalignment may occur due to the paper
thickness, changes in temperature or humidity, and
internal inertia while the print head moves.
Although Head Alignment can be performed from the

o
Are you using a genuine Epson ink cartridge?
This printer is developed for use with Epson ink
cartridges. If you use non-Epson ink cartridges,
printouts may be faint, or the color of the printed
image may be changed because the remaining ink
level is not correctly detected. Be sure to use the
correct ink cartridge.
o
Are you using an old ink cartridge?
The print quality declines when an old ink cartridge is
used. Replace the old ink cartridge with a new one. We
recommend using all the ink in the cartridge before
the expiry date printed on the package (within six
months of installation).
o
Have the ink cartridges been shaken?

o
Have you compared the printing result with
the image on the display monitor?
Since monitors and printers produce colors
differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
o
Did you open the printer cover while
printing?
If the printer cover is opened while printing, the print
head stops suddenly causing unevenness in the color.
Do not open the printer cover while printing.
o
Is Ink Low displayed in the control panel?
The print quality may decline when the ink is low. We
recommend replacing the ink cartridge with a new
one. If there is a difference in color after replacing the
ink cartridge, try performing head cleaning a few
times.
The color is not exactly the same as
another printer.
o
Colors vary depending on the printer type
due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer profiles are
developed for each printer model, the colors printed
by different printer models are not exactly the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.
U “Color Management Printing” on page 101
To match the color precisely, use the color
measurement device to perform color management.
The print is not positioned properly
on the media.

the printer driver does not match the paper loaded in
the printer, the print may not be in the correct position
or some of the data may be printed off the paper. In
this case, check the print settings.
o
Is the paper skewed?
If Off is selected for Paper Skew Check in the Printer
Setup menu, printing will continue even if the paper is
skewed, resulting in data being printed off the paper.
Select On for Paper Skew Check in the Printer Setup
menu.

do the following:
2.1 Unmodified Code. You may use, reproduce, display, perform, internally distribute within Your organization, and
Externally Deploy verbatim, unmodified copies of the Original Code, for commercial or non-commercial purposes,
provided that in each instance:

Software License Terms
192
(a) You must retain and reproduce in all copies of Original Code the copyright and other proprietary notices and
disclaimers of Apple as they appear in the Original Code, and keep intact all notices in the Original Code that refer to
this License; and
(b) You must include a copy of this License with every copy of Source Code of Covered Code and documentation You
distribute or Externally Deploy, and You may not offer or impose any terms on such Source Code that alter or restrict
this License or the recipients' rights hereunder, except as permitted under Section 6.
2.2 Modified Code. You may modify Covered Code and use, reproduce, display, perform, internally distribute within
Your organization, and Externally Deploy Your Modifications and Covered Code, for commercial or
non-commercial purposes, provided that in each instance You also meet all of these conditions:

Modifications either available to those to whom You have Externally Deployed Your Modifications, or publicly
available. Source Code of Your Externally Deployed Modifications must be released under the terms set forth in this
License, including the license grants set forth in Section 3 below, for as long as you Externally Deploy the Covered Code
or twelve (12) months from the date of initial External Deployment, whichever is longer. You should preferably
distribute the Source Code of Your Externally Deployed Modifications electronically (e.g. download from a web
site).
2.3 Distribution of Executable Versions. In addition, if You Externally Deploy Covered Code (Original Code and/or
Modifications) in object code, executable form only, You must include a prominent notice, in the code itself as well as
in related documentation, stating that Source Code of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License
with information on how and where to obtain such Source Code.
2.4 Third Party Rights. You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Apple and each Contributor grants the
licenses to their respective portions of the Covered Code set forth herein, no assurances are provided by Apple or any
Contributor that the Covered Code does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other
entity. Apple and each Contributor disclaim any liability to You for claims brought by any other entity based on
infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted
hereunder, You hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For
example, if a third party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Covered Code, it is Your responsibility
to acquire that license before distributing the Covered Code.
3. Your Grants. In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to You under this License, You hereby
grant to any person or entity receiving or distributing Covered Code under this License a non-exclusive, royalty-free,
perpetual, irrevocable license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights (other than
patent) owned or controlled by You, to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, sublicense, distribute and Externally
Deploy Your Modifications of the same scope and extent as Apple's licenses under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above.
4. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the
terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a singl e p ro duc t. In ea ch s uch in stance, You must make sure the
requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code or any portion thereof.
5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly stated in Section 2, no other patent rights, express or implied, are
granted by Apple herein. Modifications and/or Larger Works may require additional patent licenses from Apple
which Apple may grant in its sole discretion.

6. Additional Terms. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
obligations and/or other rights consistent with the scope of the license granted herein ("Additional Terms") to one or
more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole responsibility,
and not on behalf of Apple or any Contributor. You must obtain the recipient's agreement that any such Additional
Terms are offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Apple and every Contributor
harmless for any liability incurred by or claims asserted against Apple or such Contributor by reason of any such
Additional Terms.
7. Versions of the License. Apple may publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time. Each
version will be given a distinguishing version number. Once Original Code has been published under a particular
version of this License, You may continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such
Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by Apple. No one other than Apple
has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered Code may contain in whole or in part pre-release, untested, or not
fully tested works. The Covered Code may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of data, and may be
incomplete or contain inaccuracies. You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Covered Code, or any
portion thereof, is at Your sole and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT
WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSOR(S)
(COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL
CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF
ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. APPLE AND
EACH CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF
THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE WILL MEET YOUR
REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR
ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR
WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE, AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR
ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. You acknowledge that the Covered Code is not intended
for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation, communication systems, or air traffic control
machines in which case the failure of the Covered Code could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or
environmental damage.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLE
OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
COVERED CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT,
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE
OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS
DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Apple's total liability to You for all damages (other
than as may be required by applicable law) under this License exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).
10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use the trademarks or trade names "Apple", "Apple
Computer", "Mac", "Mac OS", "QuickTime", "QuickTime Streaming Server" or any other trademarks, service marks,
logos or trade names belonging to Apple (collectively "Apple Marks") or to any trademark, service mark, logo or trade
name belonging to any Contributor. You agree not to use any Apple Marks in or as part of the name of products
derived from the Original Code or to endorse or promote products derived from the Original Code other than as
expressly permitted by and in strict compliance at all times with Apple's third party trademark usage guidelines which
are posted at http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html.

11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under this License, each Contributor retains all rights, title and interest
in and to any Modifications made by such Contributor. Apple retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Original
Code and any Modifications made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"), and such Apple Modifications
will not be automatically subject to this License. Apple may, at its sole discretion, choose to license such Apple
Modifications under this License, or on different terms from those contained in this License or may choose not to
license them at all.
12. Termination.
12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate:
(a) automatically without notice from Apple if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this License and fail to cure such
breach within 30 days of becoming aware of such breach;
(b) immediately in the event of the circumstances described in Section 13.5(b); or
(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an action
for patent infringement against Apple; provided that Apple did not first commence an action for patent infringement
against You in that instance.
12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You agree to immediately stop any further use, reproduction,
modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which have
been properly granted prior to termination shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
nature, should remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive, including but not limited to
Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any other for compensation, indemnity or damages of
any sort solely as a result of terminating this License in accordance with its terms, and termination of this License will
be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of any party.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a "commercial item" as defined in FAR 2.101. Government software
and technical data rights in the Covered Code include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined
in this License. This customary commercial license in technical data and software is provided in accordance with FAR
12.211 (Technical Data) and 12.212 (Computer Software) and, for Department of Defense purchases, DFAR
252.227-7015 (Technical Data -- Commercial Items) and 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or
Computer Software Documentation). Accordingly, all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only
those rights set forth herein.
13.2 Relationship of Parties. This License will not be construed as creating an agency, partnership, joint venture or any
other form of legal association between or among You, Apple or any Contributor, and You will not represent to the
contrary, whether expressly, by implication, appearance or otherwise.
13.3 Independent Development. Nothing in this License will impair Apple's right to acquire, license, develop, have
others develop for it, market and/or distrib ute t ec hn olog y o r p ro duc ts t hat pe rf orm the same or similar functions as, or
otherwise compete with, Modifications, Larger Works, technology or products that You may develop, produce,
market or distribute.
13.4 Waiver; Construction. Failure by Apple or any Contributor to enforce any provision of this License will not be
deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any law or regulation which provides that the
language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter will not apply to this License.

13.5 Severability. (a) If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this License, or portion
thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to
effect the economic benefits and intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License will continue in full force and
effect. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law prohibits or restricts You from fully and/or specifically
complying with Sections 2 and/or 3 or prevents the enforceability of either of those Sections, this License will
immediately terminate and You must immediately discontinue any use of the Covered Code and destroy all copies of it
that are in your possession or control.
13.6 Dispute Resolution. Any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Apple relating to this License
shall take place in the Northern District of California, and You and Apple hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction
of, and venue in, the state and federal courts within that District with respect to this License. The application of the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof. This License shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California,
except that body of California law concerning conflicts of law.

that they have requested that this License and all related documents be drafted in English.
