_________________________________________ Introduction 1-7
Paper weights from 16 - 28 lb bond (60 - 105 g/m
2
) can be used in
the paper cassettes and from 16 - 36 lb bond (60 - 135 g/m
2
) 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.
