Printer Features

The printer features true Adobe PostScript 3, allowing you to work

from virtually any software or hardware environment. Adobe PostScript

3 features smooth shading, fast imaging, expanded font sets,

international font support, and advanced page processing for fast, high

quality imaging. PostScript typefaces work with leading operating

systems including Windows (95, 98, and NT) and Macintosh OS.

The ScreenWriter 3 features a standard input capacity of 650 sheets—

500 sheets in the standard paper cassette and 150 sheets in the

multipurpose feeder. You can add up to two optional paper feeders,

expanding maximum capacity to 1650 sheets. Plus, tray chaining allows

you to switch to a second paper source when the first source is empty.

Paper weights from 16 - 28 lb bond (60 - 105 g/m2) can be used in

the paper cassettes and from 16 - 36 lb bond (60 - 135 g/m2) in the

multipurpose feeder. You can feed transparencies, labels, envelopes,

and Myriad film from the multipurpose feeder. The optional

envelope cassette allows you to feed multiple envelopes and

postcards.

You can print images directly to XANTÉ’s Myriad film, process

output through XANTÉ’s FilmStar 2, and then use the film to burn

silk-screen emulsions. XANTÉ’s density features control toner

intensity for positive film output.

Simultaneously active serial, parallel, LocalTalk, and optional

Ethernet interfaces, allow Macintosh and PC computers to send files

concurrently to the printer. You do not have to send software

commands or manually set hardware switches to use a different

interface.

Standard features include mirror printing and densitometer support.

With an optional hard disk, you can spool multiple jobs and use

XANTÉ’s Font Accelerator to increase printing performance of

printer disk based fonts.

Advanced features designed for silk-screen specialists, desktop

publishers, graphics users, and prepress professionals include

allows you to calibrate the printer’s line lengths and to correct

grayscale values to help compensate for dot gain.

files to make working with your new printer more efficient.
