IMPORTANT
a. Print speed may drop depending on the settings for the paper size, paper type, and print copies.
b. When continuously printing the paper of 272 mm long or less, the safety function that prevents damages caused by heat may slow the print speed down in stages. (The print speed may be as slow as approximately 4 ppm.)
c. Do not use the labels in the following conditions. Using inappropriate labels may result in paper jams that are difficult to clear or may result in damage to the printer.
- Peeled labels or partly used labels
- Coated labels that are easily peeled off from the backing sheet
- Labels with uneven adhesive
d. If Index Card is curled, flatten the curls by warping it in the opposite direction before loading it.
e. Do not use the following types of envelopes. Using inappropriate envelopes may result in paper jams that are difficult to clear or may result in damage to the printer.
- Envelopes with fasteners or snaps
- Envelopes with address windows
- Envelopes with adhesive on the surface
- Wrinkled or creased envelopes
- Poorly manufactured envelopes in which the glued parts are uneven
- Irregularly-shaped envelopes
f. Before loading the envelopes, flatten the stack of envelopes to release any remaining air, and press the fold lines along the edges tight.
g. Do not print on the reverse side (glued side) of envelopes.
h. When loading an envelope, load it so that the flap is toward the left of the printer when viewed from the front.
