❏The print head must not print past the left or right edge of the envelope or other thick paper. Make sure your application program prints entirely within the printable area of your envelope. See “Printer Specifications” in the Reference Guide for more information on the printable area of envelopes.

❏If you are using No. 6 envelopes, make sure the left edge guide is aligned with the arrow on the paper guide.

Postcards

You can feed postcards one at a time using the paper guide, or you can load multiple cards using the optional high-capacity cut-sheet feeder (bin 1 of the double-bin cut-sheet feeder). The cards can be loaded only in the front or rear paper slot.

Before loading postcards, set the paper-thickness lever to position 2 and set the paper release lever to the single-sheet position.

To load a single card, follow the instructions in “Loading Single Sheets with the Paper Guide” on page 26. To load multiple cards,

see the Reference Guide.

Note:

❏ When you are loading postcards long edge first, always load them in the top slot.

❏Before printing, turn on the

card mode by pressing the Tear Off/Bin button several times until the left

Tear Off/Bin light is on.

❏When loading A6 size cards, always load them long edge first.
