When the label paper has extra margin around the label’s outside edges that correspond to
the margins of the printable area, do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet
until printing is finished.

When selecting labels, make sure to use only those meeting the following requirements:
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.
