Handling Paper
ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 1-9
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no
spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are
liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.
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.
Postcards
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.
