   • 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.

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 printer will not be able to feed the postcard properly, and this condition will cause line shifts or a paper jam.

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, according to your purpose.

8. Click OK

   When you execute printing, the data will be printed onto the postcard.
