ENCAD NovaJet 850/880

images/novajet850.gif

The control panel for the ENCAD NovaJet 850/880 allows you to make certain print settings from the software, rather than the front panel. To enable the options in the control panel, the Use Software Control Panel Settings radio button must be checked. If Use Printer Front Panel Settings is checked, then the settings currently on the front panel of the printer will be used instead. The Carriage Set selection specifies which heads to use when printing. '1x4 Left' uses the left four heads, '1x4' right uses the right four heads, '1x8' uses six or eight of the heads, and '2x4' uses 2 sets of heads simultaneously for very fast printing.

Printing Direction, Print Speed, and Print Quality control the way the head moves across the media. There are also selections to enable the automatic cutter and the wiper.

NOTE: If the cutter is enabled, the Paper Source selection on the front panel must be set to 'Roll' or 'Roll 2'. If it is set to 'Take-up'or 'Sheet', the automatic cutter is disabled regardless of the setting in the control panel.

The NovaJet 850/880 combines orange and green with dilute cyan and magenta inks in a single printer. This creates a large number of "reasonable" print modes. The list below shows those that are part of our initial release of support for this printer. Any of these modes can be selected from the Print Model window on the Set Up screen. In general, only one or two modes will be suitable for any particular combination of ink and paper.
