1-6 Introductionbb ________________________________________

(model) indicates when a feature is available only on the

listed model(s) and if that feature is optional on

the listed model(s).

Examples: (3G) = available only on the 3G

(3G; 3DN and 3N optional) = standard on the

3G; optional on the 3DN and 3N

Printer Features

The printers feature true Adobe PostScript 3, allowing you to work from

virtually any software or hardware environment. Adobe PostScript 3

features smooth shading, fast imaging, expanded font sets, international

font support, and advanced page processing for fast, high quality

imaging. PostScript typefaces work with the leading operating systems

including Windows (95, 98, and NT) and Macintosh OS

The 3N and 3G printers feature a standard input capacity of 650

sheets—500 sheets in the standard paper cassette and 150 sheets in the

multipurpose feeder. You can add up to two optional paper feeders (500

sheets each) to expand capacity to a maximum of 1650 sheets. An

optional 2,000 sheet paper feeder can be installed as one of the optional

feeders, providing these models with an input capacity of 3150 sheets.

The 3DN features a standard capacity of 1150— two 500 sheet standard

cassettes and the 150 sheet multipurpose feeder. Plus, you can add the

optional 2,000 sheet paper feeder to increase capacity to 3150 sheets.

Advanced paper handling capabilities on the printers include tray

chaining, which allows you to switch to a second paper source when

the first source is empty. And, the duplexer (3DN; 3N and 3G

optional) allows you to print automatically on both sides of the

paper.

The Accel-a-Writer 3N and 3DN printers allow you to use media

from 3.94" x 5.83" (100 mm x 148 mm) to 13.00" x 18.50" (330 mm

x 470 mm). With the 3G, you can use media up to 13.00" x 35.50"

(330 mm x 901 mm).

_________________________________________ Introduction 1-7

Paper weights from 16 - 28 lb bond (60 - 105 g/m2) can be used in

the paper cassettes and from 16 - 36 lb bond (60 - 135 g/m2) in the

multipurpose feeder. You can feed transparencies, labels, envelopes,

and Myriad film (3G) from the multipurpose feeder. The optional

envelope cassette allows you to feed multiple envelopes and

postcards.

XANTÉ’s optional patented NEIT upgrade can be added to the

Accel-a-Writer 3G. With NEIT, you can print images directly to

XANTÉ’s Myriad film, process the output through XANTÉ’s

FilmStar 2, and then use the film to burn metal plates or silk-screen

emulsions.

Simultaneously active serial, parallel, LocalTalk, and Ethernet

interfaces, allow Macintosh and PC computers to send files

concurrently to the printer. You do not have to send software

commands or manually set hardware switches to use a different

interface.

Standard features include mirror and negative printing. With an

optional hard disk, you can spool multiple jobs and use XANTÉ’s

Font Accelerator to increase printing performance of printer disk

based fonts.

The Graphic Software Package on the Accel-a-Writer 3G offers

advanced features designed for desktop publishers, graphics users, and

prepress professionals.

• XANTÉ’s patented Accurate Calibration Technology (X-ACT)

allows you to calibrate the printer’s line lengths and to correct

inaccuracies in printing width, height, skew, and angle.

• Halftone Calibration Technology and densitometer support allow

you to adjust an image’s grayscale values and to calibrate printer

output for specific ink, media, and environmental conditions.

• Enhanced Screening increases the number of gray levels

produced for a line screen setting.

The XANTÉ Utilities include easy-to-use, menu driven programs

and files to make working with your new printer more efficient.
