2-8 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.
Postcards
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.
Envelopes
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.
