8000 laser printer is being reduced $1,000 to a new U.S. list price of
$2,295. The Accel-a-Writer 4000 is now being offered at a U.S. list price

move to higher resolution easy and affordable for our customers. With the
Accel-a-Writer controller, we allow the customer to preserve their
original investment by providing an upgrade path to state-of-the-art
technology. Whether they are starting out with a new printer or upgrading
their old one, Xante has an affordable Accel-a-Writer product to meet
their need."

The Accel-a-Writer 8000 and Accel-a-Writer 4000 are 8 page per minute and 4

The Accel-a-Writer controllers upgrade most of the Apple LaserWriter and HP
LaserJet series of printers. This upgrade brings these printers true 600 x
600 dpi, increased processing speed, more connectivity and flexibility.

All of the Accel-a-Writer products include XANTE's Advanced Gray Scale
Technology for smooth and detailed gray scale images. Along with high
resolution, XANTE also increases the processing speed with an AMD 29000
RISC processor, RAM upgradeable to 16 MB, Advanced Memory Management and
Dual Page Processing, which allows the printer to print one page while
another is being processed. Also included is the ability to simultaneously
print between Macintosh and PC/compatibles with AppleTalk, serial and
parallel ports. These Accel-a-Writer products are PostScript compatible
and include HP PCL IV emulation.

XANTE's proprietary Virtual Disk Technology allows the user to download up
to 30 fonts directly on the controller (in addition to the standard 35
resident fonts already present), without the use of an external hard
drive. These fonts act as completely printer resident and can be changed
to meet particular project requirements. Options include 512 KB of VDT for
storage of up to 15 fonts, and 1 MB of VDT for storage of up to 30 fonts.
For those who want to store more than 30 fonts, a SCSI port is provided
for an external hard drive.
