Postcards
You can feed postcards one at a time using the paper guide, or
you can load multiple cards using the optional high-capacity
cut-sheet feeder (bin 1 of the double-bin cut-sheet feeder). The
cards can be loaded only in the front or rear paper slot.
Before loading postcards, set the paper-thickness lever to
position 2 and set the paper release lever to the single-sheet
position.
When you are loading postcards long edge first, always load
them in the top slot.
Before printing, turn on the card mode by pressing the
button several times until the left
Tear Off/Bin
light is on.
When loading A6 size cards, always load them long edge first.

paper.
Switching to Printing on Single Sheets

paper from a push tractor to printing on single sheets.
Note: If continuous labels are loaded in the printer, remove them

Paper
Follow the steps below to switch from printing on single sheets

position and that continuous paper is loaded on it.
3. Set the paper release lever to the front or rear push position,
depending on the tractor position you are using.
Your printer loads the continuous paper automatically when
you begin printing.
