ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE Appendix-7
Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet around the
edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until after printing is
completed.
The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.
Postcards
Fan the stack of postcards and align the
edges before loading them in the MP tray.
Check that 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
The machine can print on envelopes using paper with a basis weight of 60 to 79 g/
m² (16 to 21 lb/ream). Envelopes must be manually fed.
An envelope is a more complex object than a single sheet of paper. For this reason,
it may not be possible to obtain consistent printing quality over the entire envelope
surface.
Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation. (Refer to Paper Grain on page
Appendix-4.) This orientation is more likely to wrinkle and crease on its way through
the machine. Before purchasing envelopes for use with the machine, test a sample
to verify the envelope’s suitability.
