Loading Paper

Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet 
around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier 
sheet until after printing is finished.

The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.

Up to 10 postcards can be loaded at a time. Fan the stack of postcards 
and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the 
postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards 
may cause paper jams.

Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when 
the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards on a flat place and rub 
the edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.

Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in 
the face-up position, right edge first.

Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of 
ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing 
quality over the entire envelope surface.

Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper 
Grain on page 2-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases 
when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes, 
make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope. 

Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.

Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope 
printing can cause premature printer wear.

If jams occur, try setting less envelopes on the MP tray.

To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10 
printed envelopes on the output tray.
