FEBRUARY 20, 1995, MOBILE, AL-- XANTE Corporation introduces the
Accel-a-Writer 8200J, a Japanese version of the Accel-a-Writer 8200 which
was recently named Best new Monochrome Printer of the Year by MacUser
Magazine. This printer becomes the only 1200 x 1200 dpi, Adobe PostScript
laser printer available in the Japanese market. The Accel-a-Writer 8200J
can be configured with either seven or fifteen Japanese fonts which have
been licensed from Morisawa and Company, Ltd.

Based on Canon's 16 page-per-minute LBP-BXII laser print engine, the
Accel-a-Writer 8200J is capable of printing full bleed 11" x 17"/A3
documents as well as oversized pages up to 12" x 25".

The Accel-a-Writer 8200J ships standard with 48 MB RAM, upgradable to 64
MB, and it includes a high speed controller built around the AMD 29030/33
MHz RISC processor. In addition to 1200 x 1200 dpi, this printer supports
a 600 x 600 dpi draft mode.

"The Japanese high end graphic arts market is a growing industry," said
XANTE' s vice president of marketing and international sales, Martin
Kennedy. "Japanese users not only require camera-ready output, but also
such features as oversized printing capabilities and cross-platform
support. The Accel-a-Writer 8200J offers these features as well as the
highest quality output, the highest quality fonts, and the reliability and
security of Adobe PostScript."

Handling paper sizes up to 12" x 25", the Accel-a-Writer 8200J ships
standard with an input capacity of 350 sheets from two trays and an output
capacity of 250 sheets. An optional third tray is available and can be
configured to hold as many as 500 sheets. Those who wish to print full
bleed 11" x 17"/A3 size documents can do so now with the Accel-a-Writer
8200J's oversized printing capabilities. XANTE supports a printable region
of 12" x 24.9" on the oversized paper, which is handled through the
100-sheet fold down tray.

The Accel-a-Writer 8200J supports XANTE' s Halftone Calibration Technology,
enabling users to adjust the gamma curve of scanned images, gray scales,
and other halftones. This feature allows users to calibrate halftone
images, bringing out detail that can be lost when printing at higher line
screens or when dark photos have been scanned.

In conjunction with XANTE's Halftone Calibration Technology, the
Accel-a-Writer 8200J also includes an enhanced screening feature. The user
is able to select the normal (default) screen or the enhanced screens at
106, 120, or 140 lines per inch which provides 40% more levels of gray.
This is a definite benefit when working in graphics applications that do
not allow changes to the line screen of images from within the program
itself. Changes to the enhanced screening or Halftone Calibration
Technology settings can be made easily from the printer' s front panel or
via software printer setup.

XANTE also offers a one year warranty and an unconditional 30 day money
back guarantee. The Accel-a-Writer products are available direct from
XANTE or from authorized resellers worldwide. For more information, please
