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.
