Accurate Calibration Technology (X-ACT)

X-ACT (XANTÉ’s patented Accurate Calibration Technology) allows you to calibrate your printer in two ways. You can calibrate printer line lengths using the front panel MISC:XACT menu. You also can use XANTÉ Command Center’s More X-ACT menu to calibrate line lengths as well as correct inaccuracies in printing width, height, skew, and angle. X-ACT is part of the Accel-a-Writer 3G’s Graphic Software package.

Because of manufacturing variations and usage, a printer may not print lines with the exact dimensions specified by the application. X-ACT allows you to calibrate your printer to compensate for these differences. See “Procedures” in chapter 3 (Macintosh) or 4 (PC) for instructions.

Accurate Screens

To maximize processing resources, your printer calculates the line screen from lpi and angle settings similar, but not necessarily identical, to the settings specified in your application. The Accurate Screens feature allows you to override this approximation and use the exact settings specified in your application to calculate the line screen. When this feature is enabled, there may be an increase in processing time because of additional demand on printer resources.

Set Accurate Screens from your application Print dialog box.

•False, the factory default, disables Accurate Screens and uses the printer’s standard line screen calculation.

•True allows the printer to build the line screen based on the specific lpi and angle settings in your application.

Note: Accurate Screens is active in the PPD only if the Enhanced Screens menu is set to Normal.
