Printing on Postcards

This section describes the procedure for postcard printing.
1. Load postcard on the machine
2. Open the printer driver setup window
3. Select commonly used settings
Display the Quick Setup tab, and for Commonly Used Settings, select Standard.
4. Select the media type
For Media Type, select Hagaki A, Ink Jet Hagaki, Hagaki K, or Hagaki.
Important
This machine cannot print on postcards that have photos or stickers attached.
When printing on each side of a postcard separately, you will get cleaner
printing if you print the message side first and then print the address side.
5. Select the paper size
For Printer Paper Size, select Hagaki 100x148mm or Hagaki 2 200x148mm.
Important
Return postcards can be used only when you print them from the computer.
When printing a return postcard, always set the paper size to Hagaki 2
200x148mm from your application software or the printer driver.
Do not fold the return postcard. If a crease is formed, the machine will not be
able to feed the postcard properly, and this condition will cause line shifts or a
paper jam.
With return postcards, borderless printing cannot be used.
6. Set the print orientation
To print the address horizontally, set Orientation to Landscape.
7. Select the print quality
For Print Quality, select High or Standard, whichever best suits the purpose.
8. Complete the setup
