The Uncompromising Solution
Until now, when you wanted an engineering printer for your workgroup, your choices were limited. If you wanted to stay within your budget, you had to choose between quality and speed. Now, you can have it all-outstanding print quality, speed, and a great value-with the Synergix 8825 Printer.

Key Features

• Fast printing yields 4D size prints per minute
• Unique AccXES™ Controller allows seamless linking to XES scanning and finishing equipment
• One or two roll media capacity (A to E size)
• Optional manual sheet bypass
• 400 dpi resolution and 128 levels of gray
• On-board network connectivity
• Remote printer management and configuration
• Plot/print nesting
• Optional Account Data Tracking
• Optional Adobe PostScript 3 with PDF Support

Superior image quality Whatever the media, the Synergix 8825 gives you high-quality A- to E- size prints…at true 400 dpi resolution. You'll get 128 levels of gray scale and single-pixel lines for superior legibility with consistent, uniform fine lines, smooth curves, and exceptional detail and shading for outstanding black and white prints of color originals, photographs and aerials.

Consolidate your printing operations The Synergix 8825 is the perfect replacement for your aging electrostatic, thermal, and pen plotters. You can even consolidate several of your ink-jet printers and still boost your productivity, because the Synergix 8825 is up to 5 times faster than the average ink-jet. And you'll save money because you'll spend less time on equipment maintenance and ordering and replenishing supplies. The printer's media drawer can hold a 500 foot roll of bond, tracing paper or vellum, or a 150 foot roll of polyester film, at various roll widths between 11 inches to 36 inches wide. This makes it possible to support a mix of ISO, ANSI, and architectural sizes. When equipped with 2 media drawers, the printer automatically switches from one roll to another of the same media size and type to minimize trimming requirements and enable longer unattended operation.

Automatic file format recognition The Synergix 8825 automatically recognizes the most widely used file formats eliminating time-wasting external conversion for:

• traditional engineering formats such as HPGL1/2, CalComp, VDS and Versatec raster
• broad-based formats such as TIFF, CALS, CGM and PostScript (optional)
• specialized document management formats such as FileNet
• many compressed formats for raster images.

Print documents from your desktop The Synergix 8825 solution includes a complete suite of AccXES™ client software tools, along with multiple print drivers to provide easy access to the printer's capabilities from within commonly used engineering and business applications. Adobe PostScript 3 drivers are also available as an option. Included with the Synergix 8825 Printer, the Web Printer Manager Tool (Web PMT) is integrated directly within the AccXES™ Controller and accessible through standard browsers, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. This software provides remote access for printer and job queue management, media availability, and the ability to view and extract accounting information as well as manage most printer settings. This tool greatly reduces the frustrations from depleted media or of unforeseen media mismatches. If the right media is not available, users can choose to halt jobs, print on whatever media is available, or allow the printer to start the next job, holding and flagging the current one as a mismatch, for resolution as soon as possible.

Administratively, this software allows responsible personnel to monitor multiple printers from their desktop, noting media status and error conditions that can then be resolved. The Document Submission Tool enables you to construct print jobs of one or more data files, set up print options, and print directly from your desktop. With the Document Submission Tool, it is easy to combine documents created by different applications into a single collated set, eliminating assembly time and avoiding potential hand-collation errors. Any document available in a format recognized by the AccXES™ Controller can become part of a larger set. Once defined, document sets can be saved and edited for reprinting on demand. Easy-to-use page composition capabilities and automatic stamping options add to the value of this software. Finally, Synergix 8825 Printer client software, the key to providing document users, creators and support personnel with application and document flexibility, is downloadable from the XES internet site.

Extensive network connectivity With the Synergix 8825 Printer you can make point-of-need printing power available wherever it is required for business needs, using the protocols and connections that are already in place. The controller's 10/100 Mbit Ethernet port includes onboard support for the widely used TCP/IP protocol (the standard-protocol for the Internet, all intranets and many local and wide area networks). Other protocols such as NetBEUI and Ethertalk can be concurrently supported through external print servers connected to the parallel port.

Trickle Development System Maintains Image Quality To further your productivity, the Synergix 8825 Printer uses the Xerox-patented Trickle Development System. This breakthrough technology eliminates the need to change your developer by mixing carrier with toner. In the past, toner and carrier were delivered to the developer sump separately… each requiring replacement at different intervals. The Trickle Development System "trickles" carrier in with the toner for continuous replenishment. From the very first print, to the very last, the Synergix 8825 Printer's image quality remains at peak levels because of this innovative technology. On other development systems, the print quality fluctuates depending on factors such as whether the toner is about to run out, or whether you've just replaced the toner cartridge. The Xerox Trickle Development System also reduces the number of service calls required to maintain the Synergix 8825 Printer.
