Postcards
One postcard can be loaded at a time. 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 postcard on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.
Envelopes
One envelope can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in the
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. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the machine. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the machine 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 machine wear.
