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.
