Introduction
This chapter covers the available options for your Accel-a-Writer
812 printer. These include the paper handling options— extra
cassettes and the paper feeder with a 500 sheet cassette. It also
includes RAM (memory) and Ethernet upgrades.
Note: Be sure to check the README file included with your
XANTÉ Utilities. If any options have become available
since this manual was printed, this file will list them.
Paper Handling Options
Your Accel-a-Writer 812 offers several ways to increase its paper
handling capacity and diversity. The options include replacement
cassettes and a 500 sheet paper feeder with a cassette.
The standard printer comes with a 250 sheet cassette (letter or A4
size) as well as the built-in fold down tray that will handle up to 100
sheets of standard or custom size media. This not only gives you up
to a 350 sheet capacity, it also provides extra flexibility. For
example, if you often switch between colored stock and regular
paper or between letter and legal size stock, you can load one type of
media in the cassette and the other in the fold down tray.
With the addition of an optional 500 sheet cassette and feeder, you
can increase the printer’s capacity to 850 sheets (with the fold down
tray). Plus, you gain more flexibility without switching trays. For
example, you can load letterhead in the standard cassette,
transparencies or envelopes in the fold down tray, and plain paper in
the optional cassette.
The printer’s standard fold down tray can handle up to 10 envelopes.

Optional Replacement Cassettes
You can order optional replacement cassettes in the following sizes:
250 sheet cassettes
letter
A4
multi-size (letter, legal, A4, executive, B5)
500 sheet cassettes
multi-size (letter, legal, A4, executive, B5)
multi-size (letter, A4, executive, B5)
Note: If you use a multi-size universal cassette, you should install
the universal cassette cover. This cover prevents dust and
debris from getting into the cassette and building up in the
printer where it can reduce print quality. See “Feeding Media
to the Printer” in chapter 6 for installation details.
The next section covers setting up the 250 sheet cassettes. See
“Optional 500 Sheet Cassette and Feeder” later in this chapter for
details on setting up and loading a 500 sheet cassette.
Optional 250 Sheet Cassette
The letter and A4 size 250 sheet cassettes install in the same manner
as the standard cassette. See “Loading the Paper Cassette” in chapter
2 for details.
Use the following procedure to set up a 250 sheet multi-size cassette.
1. Unpack the cassette.
____________________________________________ Options 9-5
2. Check the paper length and width guides (fig. 9.1). If they are
set for the size media you are going to use, skip to step 3. If
not, use the following procedure to reposition the guides.
a. If the length guide is not positioned for the desired size,
slide it to the right, lift it up and out. If the width guide is
not positioned for the desired size, slide it forward and
lift it up and out (fig. 9.1).

b. Replace the length guide by placing it in the slots for the
desired length and sliding it to the left until it locks in
place (fig. 9.2). Replace the width guide by placing it in
the slots for the desired width and sliding it back until it
locks in place (fig. 9.2).
Note: If you are using legal size media, store the paper
length guide in the slot at the front of the
cassette.

Cassette” in chapter 2 for details.

Optional 500 Sheet Cassette and Feeder
With the addition of the optional paper feeder, a second paper
cassette can be added to your printer. This provides versatility. For
example, if you use both letter and executive size paper, you can
load 250 sheets of letter paper in one cassette and 500 sheets of
executive paper in the second one used with the feeder. Plus, you
still have the fold down tray where you can load a third size of paper.
For more details on the feeder, see “Using the Optional Paper
Feeder” in chapter 6.
Installing the 500 Sheet Cassette and Feeder
Use the following procedure to install the 500 sheet cassette and its
feeder.
1. Unpack the cassette and its feeder, placing the feeder next to
the printer and the cassette aside for now.
2. Turn off your printer and disconnect the power cord and all
interface cables.
____________________________________________ Options 9-9
Warning! The printer weighs approximately 43 lbs (19.4 kg)
with the toner and a cassette loaded. Have someone
help you lift it.
3. With the help of someone else, align the printer over the feeder
and gently lower it onto the feeder (fig. 9.4).

4. Check the paper length guide (fig. 9.5). If it is not positioned
for the desired length, lift the length guide up and out. Then,
place it in the slots for the desired length, making sure it seats
firmly into place.
5. Check the paper width guide (fig. 9.5). If it is not positioned
for the desired media width, squeeze the green latch on outside
of the guide, slide the guide in or out to the desired width, and
release the latch.
