Important

• This printer 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.

• The paper settings on the printer driver are different, depending on whether you are printing on

the address side or the message side.
To check the current printer settings or to apply the printer settings to the printer driver, click

Printer Media Information...

from the

Quick Setup

tab, and specify the settings in the dialog box

that appears.
For details about the paper information to be registered to the printer driver and on the printer, see
the following:

• 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 printer 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.
