Introduction
This chapter covers the available options for your Accel-a-Writer
8200 printer, which includes the paper handling options—the paper
feeder, extra cassettes, and the cassette supporter. It also includes the
extra wide print option as well as the RAM (memory), resolution,
and Ethernet upgrades.
Note: Be sure to check any readme files included with the XANTÉ
Utilities for your printing environment. Any changes or new
options since this manual was printed, will be listed in them.
Paper Handling Options
Your printer offers several ways to increase its paper handling
capacity. The standard printer has two 250 sheet cassettes (one letter/
A4 and one ledger/A3 cassette). However, only one cassette can be
used at a time unless you add the optional paper feeder which allows
you to attach another 250 sheet cassette to the printer.
If you still need an even higher capacity, you can add an optional
cassette supporter. This raises the optional feeder so that a 500 sheet
cassette will fit into it.
Optional Paper Feeder
With the addition of the optional paper feeder, a second paper
cassette can be added to your printer. This provides versatility. For
example, if you use both letter and ledger size paper, you can load
250 sheets of letter paper in one cassette and 250 sheets of ledger
paper in the second one used with the feeder. Or, by ordering an
extra letter or ledger cassette, you could run 500 sheets of the same
size paper. Plus, you still have the fold down tray where you can
load a third size of paper.
For more details on the feeder, see “Using the Optional Paper
Feeder” in chapter 6.

Installing the Paper Feeder
To install the paper feeder
1. Unpack the paper feeder and, with the connector to the back
left, set the feeder next to the printer.
2. Make sure the feeder’s two securing locks, one on each side
under the lock icons, are pulled forward so that they are open
(fig. 9.1).

7. Plug the connector from the feeder into the socket in the
printer (fig. 9.4). Then, replace the connector cover on the
printer.

8. Latch the two securing locks on each side of the feeder by
reaching under the icons and pushing the lock toward the back
of the printer (fig. 9.1).
9. Reconnect the power cord and all interface cables.
10. Slide a filled, 250 sheet paper cassette into the feeder.
11. Turn on your printer.
If the cassettes are the same size, you may want to chain them so that
when one empties, the printer automatically begins drawing from the
second one. For details, see “Tray Chaining” in chapter 6.
Note: If you try to chain the two cassettes with different size media
in each, you will get a PAPER OUT message when the first
paper tray is empty.
Optional Cassette Supporter
If you need a higher capacity than the 250 sheets gained with the
paper feeder, you can add a cassette supporter and 500 sheet
letter/A4 tray. This supporter raises the feeder so that a 500 sheet
letter/A4 (only) size cassette will fit into it.

Installing the Cassette Supporter
To install the cassette supporter
1. Unpack the supporter and, with the open end to the front, set
the supporter next to the printer.
2. Turn off your printer and disconnect the power cord and all
interface cables.
Warning! The printer weighs approximately 60 lbs (27.24 kg).
Have someone help you lift it.
3. With the help of someone else, lift the printer/feeder unit up
and align it over the supporter, making sure the pegs on the
supporter line up with the holes on the feeder (fig. 9.5).

6. Slide a filled 500 sheet paper cassette into the feeder.
7. Turn on your printer.
Since you now have two available paper cassettes, you may want to
chain them so that when one empties, the printer automatically
begins drawing from the second cassette. For details, see “Tray
Chaining” in chapter 6.
Note: If you use the chaining option on your printer, both paper
cassettes must have the same size media installed. If you try
to chain the two cassettes with different size media in each,
you will get a PAPER OUT message when the first paper
tray is empty.
Extra Wide Print Option
Your Accel-a-Writer 8200 offers two types of oversize printing
capabilities for 19.00" and 25.00" size media, standard and extra
wide.
The media sizes and imageable areas are as follows:
Media Imageable
Size Areas
Standard 19" 11.81" x 19.00" 11.73" x 18.93"
(300 mm x 483 mm) (298 mm x 481 mm)
Standard 25" 11.81" x 25.00" 11.73" x 24.93"
(300 mm x 635 mm) (298 mm x 633 mm)
Extra Wide 19" 12.00" x 19.00" 11.97" x 18.93"
(305 mm x 483 mm) (304 mm x 481 mm)
Extra Wide 25" 12.00" x 25.00" 11.97" x 24.93"
(305 mm x 635 mm) (304 mm x 633 mm)
If the extra wide print option is installed, the printer automatically
converts from standard 19.00" and 25.00" printing to the wider page
____________________________________________ Options 9-9
sizes of 12.00" x 19.00" and 12.00" x 25.00" respectively. You can
still print the standard page sizes by using a software application and
entering the narrower sizes.
If you order the extra wide print option with your printer, it will be
installed before the printer ships. If you order this option later, the
printer must be returned to XANTÉ for installation.
To order later, contact XANTÉ Technical Support for an RMA
(Return Merchandise Authorization) number. Printers without RMA
numbers will not be accepted. You are responsible for shipping
costs. You can reach XANTÉ Technical Support at 800-926-8393 in
the US and Canada, at 95-800-926-8393 in Mexico, or at 334-342-
4846 elsewhere from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Central time Monday
through Thursday or 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
Resolution Upgrades
Your Accel-a-Writer 8200 comes standard with 600 x 600 dpi
resolution and enough RAM to handle this resolution.
Note: Occasionally, a complex, large file or one with heavy
graphics may require more than standard memory to print.
This also varies depending on the chosen resolution, and
when printing on 18.50", 19.00", and 25.00" oversized
media, you will need more than standard memory.
When you upgrade to higher resolutions, your printer memory
requirements will change. For example, 12 to 20 MB give you 600 x
600 dpi capability, 20 to 40 MB give you 800 x 800 dpi capability,
and 40 MB or more offers 1200 x 1200 dpi printing. See “RAM
Upgrades” later in this chapter for details on the optional memory
upgrades.
9-10 Optionsbb ___________________________________________
Installing Resolution Upgrades
The resolution upgrades come with their own user’s guides which
includes installation instructions. The instructions also cover
troubleshooting your resolution upgrade.
RAM Upgrades
Your Accel-a-Writer 8200 is delivered with 12 MB of standard
RAM (Random Access Memory) which can be upgraded to a
maximum 64 MB using 4 or 16 MB SIMM (Single In-line Memory
Module) RAM. These upgrade modules allow the printer to handle
larger, more complex graphics and text files with more downloaded
fonts.
When you add an optional resolution upgrade, the RAM upgrades
provide the extra memory necessary for higher resolution and
oversized printing. See “Resolution Upgrades” earlier in this chapter
for details on the optional resolution kits.
Installing RAM Upgrades
Required Tools: • A small magnetized Phillips screwdriver
• An antistatic wristband
Caution: Static electricity can destroy circuit boards, such as your
controller board, SIMMs (RAM), and resolution
upgrades. Be sure to wear the anti-static wristband.
To install the RAM upgrade.
1. Turn off your printer and disconnect the power cord and all
interface cables.
2. Put on the anti-static wristband following the directions on the
package.
