XANTE ANNOUNCES PRICE REDUCTION FOR ACCEL-A-WRITER UPGRADE PRODUCTS

OCTOBER 4, 1993, MOBILE, AL -- XANTE Corporation announces significant
price reductions for the 600 x 600 dpi Accel-a-Writer upgrade controller
for Apple LaserWriters and HP LaserJets.

From its previous price of $1,195, the Accel-a-Writer upgrade controller is
being reduced $200 to a new U.S. list price of $995. The standard RAM
configurations of the upgrade are also being changed from 6 MB to 8 MB,
upgradable to 1 6 MB.

"With the many new developments that have taken place in the printing
industry, more and more people are discovering that their current printers
have become obsolete," said XANTE's Vice President of Marketing, Martin
Kennedy. "With these new affordable prices, customers can easily upgrade
their current printer to 6 00 X 60 0 dpi, high resolution quality without
sacrificing the investment they have already made in their current
LaserWriter or LaserJet."

The Accel-a-Writer controllers upgrade most of the Apple LaserWriter and HP
LaserJet series of printers. This upgrade brings these printers true 600 x
600 dpi, increased processing speed, re connectivity and flexibility.

All of the Accel-a-Writer products include XANTE's Advanced Gray Scale
Technology for smooth and detailed gray scale images. Along with high
resolution, XANTE also increases the processing speed with an AMD 29000
RISC processor, RAM upgradable to 16 MB, Advanced Memory Management and
Dual Page Processing, which allows the printer to print one page while
another is being processed. Also included is the ability to simultaneously
print between Macintosh and PC/compatibles with AppleTalk, serial and
parallel ports. These Accel-a-Writer products are PostScript compatible
and include HP PCL IV emulation.

XANTE's proprietary Virtual Disk Technology allows the user to download up
to 30 fonts directly on the controller (in addition to the standard 35
resident fonts already present), without the use of an external hard
drive. These fonts act as completely printer resident and can be changed
to meet particular project requirements. Options include 512 KB of VDT for
storage of up to 15 fonts, and 1 MB of VDT for storage of up to 30 fonts.
For those who want to store more than 30 fonts, a SCSI port is provided
for an external hard drive.

XANTE Accel-a-Writer products are available direct from XANTE or from
re-sellers worldwide.

XANTE Corporation develops and markets high performance products that
enhance the resolution and speed of laser printing. XANTE Accel-a-Writer
8100, Accel-a-Writer 8000, Accel-a-Writer 4000, and XANTE Accel-a-Writer
controllers are available direct or from re-sellers in the U.S. and
worldwide.
