Features
The main features of this printer are described below.
Realizing High Productivity
High-speed printing
The speed of the print head and paper feed have been
increased for faster printing.
The printer is equipped with a high-speed rotary cutter
for quick cutting, significantly increasing productivity.
Improved operability with an easy to see and use
color screen
Designed for intuitive operation, the large, brightly-lit,
color LCD display is easy to understand and easy to use.
The large display offers detailed, easy-to-understand
error messages and illustrated guides to loading paper.
U “Screen View” on page 16
Checking current operating status even from afar
thanks to an alert lamp
Errors are immediately obvious even at a distance,
thanks to the large, highly visible alert lamp. This helps
prevent any wasted time when printing has stopped due
to running out of ink or paper.
High-capacity Ink Tanks
This printer is equipped with high-capacity ink tanks to
ensure high productivity. Our ink packs for refills are
also provided at a size of 1000 ml. This eliminates the
need to replace ink cartridges so frequently.
Waste Ink Bottle
The SC-F6200 Series is equipped with a Waste Ink
Bottle as standard. This eliminates the need for frequent
Maintenance Box replacement. This also reduces the
amount of wasted plastic.
Insistence on 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.
SC-F6200 Series/SC-F6000 Series User's Guide
Introduction
18
To load roll paper, simply place it on the roll rest and
attach roll paper adapters to both ends. The roll rest is
low, making it easy even for short workers to load paper.
U “Loading Roll Paper” on page 25
Easy maintenance
Roll paper and all replacements, including ink refills,
Maintenance Boxes, and cutters, are installed from the
front, allowing the printer to be placed against a wall.
The printer does not have to be moved to allow rear
access.
Ready a Head Maintenance Kit
This allows you to clean the print head. If ink drips onto
the print results even after performing head cleaning,
clean the print head using Head Maintenance Kit. You
can remove lint that has adhered to the nozzle surface of
the print head.
U “Using the Head Maintenance Kit” on page 57
High Print Quality
Providing newly developed Black ink
The development of High Density Black ink has
improved the density of black color when compared to
Black ink, providing a richer, deeper black color. In
addition, the color gamut has been widened, thereby
realizing vivid colors to create a bold contrast.
Select High Density Black or Black as the Black ink type
when you buy the printer. When changing the type of
Black ink being used, the ink tank should only be
changed by a service engineer. Changing the type of
Black ink is provided for a fee.
Contact your dealer or Epson Support.
Notes on Usage and
Storage
Installation space
Make sure that you secure the following space, clear of
any other objects, so that paper ejection and
consumable replacement are not obstructed.

dimensions of the printer.

requirements are met. For more details, see the
documentation supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
❏Make sure the work space is kept clean. If dust or
lint enter into the printer, it could damage the
printer or clog the print head nozzles.
❏Avoid using the printer in locations with heat
sources or that are exposed to direct draughts from
ventilators or air conditioners. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in the print head
nozzles drying and clogging.
❏Use the printer in a location that is sufficiently
ventilated.
❏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.
❏Do not bend or tug the waste ink tube. Ink could
spill inside or around the printer.
❏In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until
capping is performed automatically.
Be sure that the Waste Ink Bottle is placed whenever
the printer is on.
❏To ensure your printouts have a stable coloring,
maintain a constant room temperature of 15 to
25˚C.
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 turn on the printer once every two weeks to
prevent the print head from clogging.
When the power is turned ON, head cleaning is
performed automatically once the printer starts up.
Do not turn OFF the power until head cleaning is
finished.
Leaving the printer for an extended period of time
without turning it ON may result in malfunction.
Repairs will be provided for a fee.
❏If the printer is not scheduled for use for more than
2 weeks, a service engineer must perform
maintenance before and after the period of
non-use. This pre- and post-maintenance is
provided for a fee.
Even if pre-maintenance is performed, repairs may
be required during the post-maintenance
depending on the storage period and/or
environment. Repairs will be provided for a fee.
Contact your dealer or Epson Support.
❏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.

Important:
This printer is equipped with a remaining ink
warning system. Use the following replacement and
refilling procedures to replace the chip unit and
refill the ink correctly.
This system does not directly detect the amount of
ink remaining in the ink tank, but estimates the
amount remaining depending on how much the ink
has been used and then displays a warning message
when necessary. To maintain the accuracy of this
system, you must replace the chip unit and refill the
ink as soon as possible once the remaining ink is 70
mm or less from the bottom of the ink tank.
Procedures for Replacement and
Refill
The refill method differs depending on the type of ink.
Use the refill method that matches the type of ink.
Before performing operations, check the “Safety data
sheet”and the following notes.
You can download it at your local Epson Web site.
!
Caution:
❏Store ink packs and waste ink in a location out
of reach of children.
❏Wear protective eyewear, gloves, and a mask
when performing maintenance.
Should ink or waste ink contact your skin or
enter your eyes or mouth, take the following
actions:
❏If fluid adheres to your skin, wash it off using large
volumes of soapy water. If you notice any reaction
developing in the affected area, consult with a
qualified physician immediately.
❏If ink gets into your eyes, wash them out
immediately with water. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bloodshot eyes or mild
inflammation. Consult with a qualified physician
if any other problems should develop.
❏If fluid enters your mouth, consult with a
physician as soon as possible.
❏If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Consult
with a physician as soon as possible. If vomiting is
induced, vomited material may enter the
windpipe, which is dangerous.
❏Be aware of the following points when refilling
ink.
❏Carefully cut open the nozzle on the ink pack.
If too much force is applied, the ink may splatter
out.
❏Do not grip the ink pack too strongly after
opening. This may cause the ink to be squeezed
out of the pack.
❏When pouring the ink into the ink tank, slowly tilt
the ink pack to pour.

If the amount of ink remaining is more than
70mm from the bottom of the ink tank
We recommend continuing to use the printer
until the amount of ink remaining in the ink tank
is 70mm or less from the bottom of the ink tank
so that you can use all of the ink in the new ink
pack for a single refill.
If the remaining ink level is 70 mm or less:
Proceed to Step 2.

Minimizing Print Misalignments
(Head Alignment)
Because there is a small distance between the print head
and paper, misalignment may occur due to humidity or
temperature, the inertial force of the print head's
movements, or by moving the print head
bidirectionally. This may result in grainy prints or lines
that are incorrectly placed. When this happens, perform
Head Alignment to correct the print misalignment.
For head alignment, you need to check the pattern and
enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment.
Head Alignment can perform the following two types of
adjustments.
For bidirectional printing
Select Manual(Bi-D). If the graininess or misalignment

printer does not work)
The printer does not turn on.
o
Is the power cable plugged into the electrical
outlet or the printer?
Make sure the power cable is securely plugged into
the printer.
o
Is there a problem with the power outlet?
Make sure your outlet works by connecting the power
cable for another electric product.
The printer turns off automatically.
o

U “Setup menu” on page 48
The printer is not communicating
with the computer.
o
Is the cable plugged in properly?
Confirm that the interface cable is securely connected
to both the printer port and the computer. Also, make
sure the cable is not broken nor bent. If you have a
spare cable, try connecting with the spare cable.
o
Does the interface cable specification match
the specifications for the computer?
Make sure the interface cable specifications match
the specifications for the printer and the computer.
U “System Requirements” on page 84
o
When using a USB hub, is it being used
correctly?
In the USB specification, daisy-chains of up to five USB
hubs are possible. However, we recommend that you
connect the printer to the first hub connected directly
to the computer. Depending on the hub you are
using, the operation of the printer may become
unstable. If this should occur, plug the USB cable
directly into your computer's USB port.
o
Is the USB hub recognized correctly?
Make sure the USB hub is recognized correctly on the
computer. If the computer correctly detects the USB
hub, disconnect all USB hubs from the computer and
connect the printer directly to the computer USB port.
Ask the USB hub manufacturer about USB hub
operation.
You cannot print under the network
environment.
o
Are the network settings correct?
Ask your network administrator for the network
settings.
o
Connect the printer directly to the computer
using a USB cable, and then try to print.
If you are able to print via USB, there is a problem with
network settings. Ask your system administrator, or
refer to the documentation for your network system. If
you cannot print via USB, see the appropriate section
in this User's Guide.
The printer has an error.
o
View the message displayed in the control
panel.
U “Control panel” on page 15

page 74
The printer sounds like it is
printing, but nothing prints
The print head moves, but nothing
prints.
o
Confirm the printer operation
Print a nozzle check pattern. Because a nozzle check
pattern can be printed without connecting to a
computer, you can check the operations and print
status for the printer.U “Checking for clogged
nozzles” on page 69
Check the next section if the nozzle check pattern is
not printed correctly.

o
Is the message Motor Self Adjustment
displayed on the control panel's screen?
The printer adjusts the internal motor. Wait for a while
without turning off the printer.
The nozzle check pattern is not
printed correctly.
o
Perform head cleaning.
The nozzles may be clogged. Print a nozzle check
pattern again after performing head cleaning.
U “Cleaning the print head” on page 70
o
Has the printer been left unused for a long
time?
If the printer has not been used for a long time, the
nozzles may have dried up and have been clogged.
The prints are not what you
expected
Print quality is poor, uneven, too
light, or too dark.
o
Are the print head nozzles clogged?
If the nozzles are clogged, specific nozzles do not fire
ink and the print quality declines. Print a nozzle check
pattern.
U “Checking for clogged nozzles” on page 69
o
Was Head Alignment performed?
With bidirectional printing, the print head prints while
moving left and right. If the print head is misaligned,
ruled lines may be misaligned accordingly. If vertical
ruled lines are misaligned with bidirectional printing,
perform Head Alignment.
U “Minimizing Print Misalignments (Head
Alignment)” on page 71
o
Are you using a genuine Epson ink pack?
This printer is designed for use with Epson ink packs.
The print quality may decline if any inks other than the
specified ink packs are used.
We recommend using the genuine ink packs specified
in this manual.
o
Are you using an old ink pack?
The print quality declines when an old ink pack is used.
Always use new ink packs. Always use the ink before
the recommended usage date on the ink pack.
o
Are the paper type settings correct?
Print quality may be adversely affected if the software
RIP settings or Select Paper Type setting on the
printer does not match that of the paper actually used
for printing. Be sure to match the paper type setting
with the paper that is loaded in the printer.
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.
The print is not positioned properly
on the paper.
o
Have you specified the print area?
Check the print area in the settings of the application
and the printer.
o
Is the paper skewed?
If Off is selected for Paper Skew Check in the 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 Setup menu.
U “Setup menu” on page 48
o
Does the print data fit within the paper
width?
Although under normal circumstances printing stops
if the print image is wider than the paper, the printer
may print outside the bounds of the paper when Off is
selected for Paper Size Check in the Setup menu. If it
prints beyond the edges of the paper, the inside of the
printer becomes dirty with ink.
Changed settings are reflected when the paper is
re-loaded.

Setup menu is wider than the margins selected in the
application, priority will be given to the value selected
for Roll Paper Margin. For example, if 15 mm is
selected for the left and right margins in the printer
menus and the document fills the page, the 15 mm at
the left and right sides of the page will not be printed.
U “Printable area” on page 36
Vertical ruled lines are misaligned.
o
Is the print head misaligned? (in bidirectional
printing)
With bidirectional printing, the print head prints while
moving left and right. If the print head is misaligned,
ruled lines may be misaligned accordingly. If vertical
ruled lines are misaligned with bidirectional printing,
perform Head Alignment.

non-exclusive license, to the extent of Apple's Applicable Patent Rights and copyrights covering the Original Code, to
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:
(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:

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

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 each s uch i ns tance, 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

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 distribu te tec hn olog y o r p ro duct s 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.
Where You are located in the province of Quebec, Canada, the following clause applies: The parties hereby confirm
that they have requested that this License and all related documents be drafted in English.
Les parties ont exigé que le présent contrat et tous les documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais.
