1: Introduction and Installation

Congratulations on your purchase of a GCC Technologies Elite XL 20ppm laser

printer. You now have a fast, high-quality, versatile solution for all your printing

needs.

This manual presents installation instructions, basic day-to-day user information,

troubleshooting tips, and reference materials for your Elite XL 20ppm printer. The

contents of this manual are presented to help you quickly setup and begin using your

printer. Networking instructions and the printer software are contained on the CD-

ROM provided with your printer.

Before you set up the printer, take a few minutes to understand its main features.

Elite XL 20ppm highlights

GCC offers several printers in the Elite XL 20ppm product family; the Elite XL 20/

600, the Elite XL 20/800 and the Elite XL 20/1200.

Razor sharp printing

•Depending on the model, Elite XL 20ppm printers can print at 1200, 800, 600,

400, and 300 dots per inch for high-quality images.

•GCC’s exclusive AccuGray software ensures that halftones reproduce with

consistent brightness, regardless of the screen frequencies used, giving you

more detailed photographs.

Large Format Printing/Exceptional Paper handling

•You can use paper up to 13 x 35 inches through the standard MultiPurpose

feeder or up to 13 x 18.5 inches using the standard paper cassette supplied with

the printer.

•The Elite XL 20ppm can print an area right up to the edge of the paper for full

bleeds or printing of documents with printer’s crop marks.

•The Elite XL 20ppm printer comes with a Universal Paper Cassette capable of

holding 500 sheets of all US and European paper sizes from Letter/A4 through

Tabloid/A3. You can also load 150 sheets of paper up to 13 x 35 inches (330.2 x

889 mm) in the MultiPurpose feeder.

•The Elite XL 20ppm printer has a total capacity of 1650 pages (using the

standard universal paper cassette and MultiPurpose feeder, and two optional

500 sheet lower paper tray assemblies).

• 1 - 3

Flexibility/Compatibility/Connectivity

• The Elite XL 20ppm accepts jobs in PostScript Level 2 and PCL 5 formats from

Macintosh, Windows, MS-DOS, and UNIX based computers.

•The Elite XL 20ppm comes with Ethernet to let you connect to an Ethernet

network. It also has LocalTalk as standard, and supports NetWare and TCP/IP.

•If you have an Ethernet network that supports TCP/IP, you can remotely view

and configure any Elite XL 20ppm using a World Wide Web browser and

GCC’s WebAdmin utility.

•The Elite XL 20ppm supports Novell’s NEST system which allows you to

connect an Elite XL 20ppm to a Novell network without needing to dedicate a

computer as a print server.

•The Elite XL 20ppm can accept print jobs from a Bidirectional Parallel port and

LocalTalk/Serial and Ethernet networks at the same time.

•The Elite XL 20ppm has a SCSI interface that allows you to connect multiple

external SCSI hard drives for additional font storage and faster printing.

Environmentally friendly

•The Elite XL 20ppm is an Energy Star compliant low power consumption

printer, and its one-piece microfine toner cartridge prints an average of 14,000

letter-size pages.

•The Elite XL 20ppm emits extremely small amounts of ozone, well within the

safety limits, and is engineered to reduce dust emissions for a healthier work

area.

trays, memory upgrades, lower paper tray assemblies, interface cables and replace-

ment toner cartridges (CRUs) can be purchased directly from GCC at 1-800-422-
