3-10 Handling Paper
Postcards
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
Envelopes should be fed from
the MP tray, with the print-side
down. If you use envelopes
quite often, we recommend to
use optional paper feeder PF-
510.
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 3-6. 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 a lesser number of envelopes on the MP tray.
• To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10
printed envelopes on the top tray.
