Printing on Postcards

  1. Load postcard on the printer

  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 Ink Jet Hagaki (A), Ink Jet Hagaki, Hagaki K (A), Hagaki K, Hagaki (A), or Hagaki.

    Important

    • This printer cannot print on postcards that have photos or stickers attached.
    • 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:

  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 perform printing, the data will be printed onto the postcard.

Important

  • When printing on media other than postcards, load the media according to usage method of that media, and click Start Printing.
