5. Operational Note: Initial Power Up Sequence
The printer will not fully initialize if the center platen section, or adjustable platen, is out
of range (above the upper limit or below the lower limit). Either the media must be
loaded or the platen raised to within range of the proper print gap sensor limits. Once
media is loaded, by selecting 'Load Media', then the printer will finish initializing and print
operations may resume. Refer to #2 above for proper height ranges.
6. Equipment Note: Controlling Media Skew (heavy or warped media)
Plastic feather boards, like those typically used on wood saws,
can be used to help control media skew of heavier media. Do
not use C-clamps or any other rigid clamp that does not
provide 'give' to the rigid media as this may cause the media
to bind and stop feeding through the NovaJet 880. If the
feather board is used it will have to be mounted to the flattening roller assembly in such
a way as not to cause media path damage. NOTE: Some customers have found using 2
very strong magnets works well too.

7. Application Note: Coating Rigid Media
Products C-127-3 is an inkjet receptive white-matte undercoat or C-123-26 (clear glossy)
manufactured by Ontario Specialty Coatings, that can be used with dye-based or
pigment ink jet inks. This coating is white and yields a matte finish. Customers can find
information on application of coatings to ink jet substrates at the link below. This coating
has worked well on a variety of rigid media and yields good image quality with GS+ and
GO ink on the NovaJet 880 printer. It is important to find or develop an appropriate color
profile for the ink/coated media combination.
