Appendix Label Be sure to feed labels from the multi purpose tray. For selecting labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact with any part of the machine and that the labels are not easily peeled from the carrier sheet. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers and peeled labels remaining in the machine may cause a failure.

Appendix Envelope Be sure to feed envelopes from the multi purpose tray. Since the composition of an envelope is complex, consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface may be difficult. Thin envelopes, particularly, may be wrinkled while they pass through this machine.
Appendix Glossary Additional memory An additional memory (optional) is used for increasing the memory capacity of this machine. In this machine, a memory can be added for the copier functions and the printer functions respectively. (For copier: 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, and 128 MB/for printer: 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, and 256 MB) For DIMM that can be used in this machine, contact your dealer.
