About Your Printer

The Accel-a-Writer 8300’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 upgraded to 1200 x

1200 dpi.

Your printer features true Adobe PostScript 3, not an emulation.

Features such as the Smooth Shading operator, expanded font sets

for leading operating systems and applications, international font

support, and Advanced Page Processing provide fast, high quality

imaging on your XANTÉ printer.

XANTÉ’s patent pending Accurate Calibration Technology (X•ACT)

and optional Negative Enhanced Imaging Technology (NEIT) provide

greater control over printer output than previously available from a laser

printer. X•ACT allows you to calibrate the printer’s line lengths. NEIT

is the first technology to address the problems typically associated

producing negative images on a laser printer.

_________________________________________ Introduction 1-7

The AMD 29040 33 MHz RISC processor, 8 MB RAM, and

XANTÉ’s technology help ensure fast, reliable, performance.

Memory upgrades provide the extra space required for higher

resolution and oversized printing.

Your Accel-a-Writer 8300 offers out-of-the-box advanced paper

handling capability. You can print on paper, film, transparencies,

labels, and envelopes. The printer features a standard input capacity

of 350 sheets—250 sheets in the standard paper cassette and 100

sheets in the manual feed tray. If you require a higher input capacity,

you can add up to two optional paper feeders, which can each

support an additional 250 sheet input cassette.

The cassettes support up to ledger/tabloid (11" x 17")/A3 size paper.

The manual feed tray supports media from 3.90" x 5.80" (99 mm x

147 mm) to 12.00" x 25.00" (305 mm x 635 mm). An upgrade is

available to expand print regions on oversized media.

The optional duplexer allows you to print automatically on both

sides of the paper, with a choice of edge (side-to-side, book style) or

tumble (flip chart) duplexing.

With simultaneously active serial, parallel, LocalTalk, and (optional)

Ethernet interfaces, Macintosh and PC computers can send files

concurrently to the Accel-a-Writer 8300. You do not have to send

software commands or manually set hardware switches to use a

different interface.

Used in conjunction with XANTÉ’s FilmStar 2, your Accel-a-Writer

8300 becomes a complete desktop pre-press film center. Use your

printer’s advanced imaging features to print high quality images

directly to XANTÉ’s Myriad Film. After processing through

FilmStar 2, the film can be used to burn metal plates or silk screen

emulsions.
