Appendix

Label

Be sure to feed labels from the multi-bypass tray.

For selecting labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact with any part of the machine and that the labels are not easily peeled from the carrier sheet. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers and peeled labels remaining in the machine may cause a failure.

When printing onto labels, you must be liable for the print quality and possible trouble.

Labels consist of three layers as shown in the illustration. The adhesive layer contains materials that are easily affected by the force applied in the machine. The carrier sheet bears the top sheet until the label is used. This composition of labels may cause more problems.

The label surface must be covered completely with the top sheet. Gaps between labels may cause peeling of labels, resulting in a serious failure.

Moisture content	4 to 6 % (composite)

Postcard

Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the multi-bypass tray. Set the postcards after straightening them if they are curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams.

For printing onto return postcards, use a type that does not contain a fold.

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 lightly once or twice to smooth them.
