Other Helpful Documentation
This manual covers the basics of setting up and working with your
printer. However, you may find the following publications helpful
when working with PostScript printing.
PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition. This
manual, published by Addison Wesley, is designed for advanced
users, such as programmers, who work with PostScript operators.
PostScript Language Tutorial and Cookbook. This manual,
published by Addison Wesley, is designed for those who want to
learn about working directly in the PostScript language.
Most bookstores and many computer businesses either keep these
books in stock or can order them for you.
About Your Printer
The Accel-a-Writer 8200’s high-end features allow you to produce
near typeset quality work, suitable for camera-ready production. The
standard, smooth 600 x 600 dpi resolution can be further enhanced
by an upgrade to 800 x 800 dpi or 1200 x 1200 dpi.
Your printer features Adobe PostScript, not an emulation. This
format gives you a wide range of flexible features such as scaling,
filling, and rotating.
The AMD 29030 RISC processor, 12 MB RAM, and XANTÉ’s
technology help ensure fast, reliable, professional performance.
Memory upgrades provide the extra space required for higher
resolution printing when you have added a resolution upgrade to
your printer and for oversized printing.
_________________________________________ Introduction 1-7
For example, 20 to 28 MB provides 800 x 800 dpi capability and 40
MB or more offers 1200 x 1200 dpi printing. And, 16 MB or more
allows for oversized printing. (High resolution kits and memory
upgrades are available from XANTÉ. For details contact XANTÉ
Customer Support at 800-926-8393 in the US and Canada, at 95-800-
926-8393 in Mexico, or at 334-342-4846 in other countries.)
Note: Occasionally, a complex, large file or one with heavy
graphics may require more than the standard memory to
print. Memory requirements also vary depending on the
chosen resolution.
Your Accel-a-Writer 8200 offers out-of-the-box advanced paper
handling capability. For example, you can print on paper,
transparencies, labels, and envelopes. The printer also features a total
input capacity of 350 sheets—250 sheets in the standard paper
cassette and another 100 sheets in the fold down tray. Both of these
input sources support up to ledger (11" x 17")/A3 size paper.
The fold down tray handles variable custom and oversized media
from 3.90" x 5.80" up to 11.81" x 25.00". Plus, an extra wide print
option is available to expand paper handling up to 12.00" x 25.00".
See “Selecting Media” in chapter 6 for details on page sizes and
imageable areas.
Note: Media size is the actual size of the media. The imageable
area is slightly smaller. For example, 11.81" x 25.00" paper
has an imageable area of 11.73" x 24.93".
If you require an even higher input capacity, you can add a second
250 sheet input cassette with an optional paper feeder or an
additional 500 sheet letter size cassette with an optional paper feeder
and a cassette supporter.
Macintosh and PC/compatibles can be used concurrently on the
Accel-a-Writer 8200 with simultaneously active serial, parallel,
LocalTalk, and (optional) EtherTalk interfaces. You do not have to
send software commands or manually set hardware switches when a
different interface is used. In addition to PostScript, HP PCL 5 and
HP–GL emulations are supported for line printer and other
non-PostScript applications.

About XANTÉ Utilities
XANTÉ Utilities include easy-to-use, menu driven programs and files
to make working with your new printer more convenient. For example,
they contain practical programs such as printer description files required
for PageMaker, FreeHand, QuarkXPress, and the LaserWriter 8 printer
driver. The utilities also have a namer feature in Command Center to
prevent confusion on networks where several printers are the same
model; you can leave one printer with the model name (Accel-a-Writer
8200) and rename the other “Sales 8200.”
The utilities come on 2 disks—one for Macintosh environments and
another for PC formats. For detailed information see “Installing
XANTÉ Utilities (Macintosh)” in chapter 3 or “Installing XANTÉ
Utilities (PC)” in chapter 4.
