7-10 Using Media and Toner b ________________________________
Tray Chaining
Tray chaining directs the printer to automatically switch to another
source for media when the current source is empty. With the Accel-
a-Writer 8300, you can chain to all paper cassettes and the manual
feed tray.
To enable the tray chaining feature
• All selected media sources must contain the same size media. If
the printer detects a different size media when it switches to a
new tray, a
PAPER OUT
message appears.
• All trays must be properly inserted. When tray chaining is
enabled, an incorrectly positioned tray will prevent the printer
from printing.
• Select the tray chaining feature from your application’s Print
dialog box (see chapter 6, “PPD Settings”).
• To change the printer’s default tray chaining option, use the front
panel Tray Switch menu (see chapter 5, “Configuration”).
Using Special Media
Be sure that all media used in your XANTÉ printer meets the guidelines
listed in “Media Specifications” earlier in the chapter. When printing to
special media, such as Myriad film, envelopes, or custom sized media,
always use the manual feed tray. See “The Manual Feed Tray” earlier in
this chapter and in chapter 2 for details.
Printing Computer-to-Film
You can print directly to XANTÉ’s Myriad Film, a specially designed,
semitransparent film with low UV blockage. When processed through
FilmStar 2, which increases the transmissive density of the toner on the
film to 3.3, the image on Myriad film can be used to burn metal plates
and silk-screen emulsions, bypassing the camera and darkroom steps.
