Handling Paper 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. Acceptable Top sheet Unacceptable Carrier sheet The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper. Item Weight of top sheet Composite weight Thickness of top sheet Composite thickness Moisture content Specification 44 to 74 g/m2 (12 to 20 lb/ream) 104 to 151 g/m2 (28 to 40 lb/ream) 0.086 to 0.107 mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils) 0.115 to 0.145 mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils) 4 to 6 % (composite) 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 The printer 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 print quality over the entire envelope surface. Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (Refer to Paper Grain on page 1-7). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the envelope's suitability. ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 1-11

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.
Envelopes
The printer can print on envelopes using paper with a basis weight of 60 to
79 g/m

(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 print quality over the
entire envelope surface.
Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (Refer to
Paper
Grain on page 1-7
). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle and crease on
its way through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes for use with the
printer, test a sample to verify the envelope’s suitability.
