Appendix-8 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no
spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are
apt to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.
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 finished.
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. 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.
