XANTE EXPANDS NETWORK OPTIONS WITH ETHERTALK CAPABILITIES FOR THE
ACCEL-A-WRITER 8100

JUNE 22, 1993, MOBILE, AL -- XANTE Corporation announces the expansion of
its networking capabilities with the introduction of an EtherTalk adapter
for the Accel-a-writer 8100 high resolution laser printer. XANTE's
EtherTalk adapter will be powered by a Motorola 68000 processor and will
have a 512 KB RAM input buffer. Providing a separate CPU for the adapter
allows the printer's processor (AMD 29000 RISC) to be dedicated to
interpreting and printing PostScript files, not managing network traffic
coming into the printer.

The benefits of direct EtherTalk connectivity are twofold. First, it will
allow access for larger numbers of users to XANTE's large format, high
resolution Accel-a-Writer 8100. Second, where XANTE's products are most
often found, the desktop publishing environment, print jobs tend to be a
complex mixture of text and graphics. The speed of EtherTalk will reduce
the bottlenecks incurred when printing these complicated, large files.

"Due to the speed and flexibility of Ethernet, many of our customers are
migrating from the standard AppleTalk network to EtherTalk," said Martin
Kennedy, XANTE's Vice President of Marketing. "The Accel-a-Writer 8100 now
allows Macintosh users the choice to connect to AppleTalk or EtherTalk for
their laser printing. We have also provided a cost effective upgrade path
for our current customers by offering this technology as an upgrade option
to their current system."

First introduced in September, 1992, the Accel-a-Writer 8100 is based on
Canon's 8 page per minute LBP-BX print engine. This printer will support
true 600 x 600 dpi as well as upgrades to 800 x 800, 960 x 960 and now
1200 x 1200 dpi. It provides Advanced Gray Scale Technology for a 40%
increase in gray scale resolutions and a high performance controller
architecture which includes an AMD 29000 RISC processor, Advanced Memory
Management, Dual Page Processing and 12 MB RAM, upgradable to 64 MB.

Xante's EtherTalk network option will begin shipping in July for $495.
Xante products are available direct from Xante or from re-sellers
worldwide.
