What is the Year 2000 Problem?
Many products use a two digit data field to define the date, i.e. the year is defined with "98" instead of "1998." For these products, the year 2000 will show as "00" which may mislead the system or application into thinking that the year is "1900" and not "2000." Products which define the year with four digits will have no problem. Products which do not have a data field for the date will also have no problem.

ANC's statement of the Year 2000 Problem
ANC is committed to providing our customers with products which are Year 2000 Compliant and addressing the issues surrounding Year 2000 Compliance and resolving them as quickly as possible.

'Year 2000 compliant' with respect to the ANC products means that the products either 1) have no date function; or 2) the products that are date sensitive which have been sold or licensed to our Customers will continue performing properly with regard to such date data on and after January 1, 2000, and will recognize the year 2000 as a leap year.

ANC Product Status

a) Products which have no date function
The following ANC products do not process date/time data and therefore will be unaffected by the Year 2000 problem, provided that they are not used in combination with or conjunction with any products which are not Year 2000 compliant. ANC makes no representations or warranties in the event that the following products are used in conjunction or connection with software or hardware that is not Year 2000 Compliant:

M300-series (all dates)
M400-series (all dates)
M500-series (before 02-1999)
M700-series (all dates)

The products in the foregoing categories use time data, but do not have calendar function. Therefore, they should be Year 2000 compliant.

As for the products in above categories connected to a PC, while the products themselves do not process date/time data, the products do utilize data from the connected PC to print dates. These products will only be Year 2000 Compliant if the are used in combination or conjunction with PCs that are Year 2000 Compliant. ANC makes no representations or warranties in the event that the products are used with a PC that is not Year 2000 Compliant.

b) Products which have a date function, but are not affected by this issue
ANC Up/Download software (all versions) - ANCUDL
This software is designed to run on a PC, and contains proper calender functions, and should therefore only be used with Year 2000 compliant equipment.
