Printing on Postcards

  1. Load postcard on the printer

  2. Open the printer driver setup window

  3. Select commonly used settings

    Display the Basic Settings tab, and for Profiles, select Standard.

  4. 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.
    • With return postcards, automatic duplex printing and borderless printing cannot be used.
  5. Select the media type

    Select the Hagaki you want to use from Hagaki in Media Type.

    Important

    • This printer cannot print on postcards that have photos or stickers attached.
    • When you use the automatic duplex printing function to print a postcard, print the address side first and then print the message side.
    • 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.
      For details about the paper information to be registered to the printer driver and on the printer, see the following:
    • When you use the automatic duplex printing function, register the paper information for the side to be printed first.
  6. Set the print orientation

    To print the address horizontally, set Orientation to Landscape.

  7. Select the print quality

    For Quality, select the quality according to your purpose.

  8. Click OK

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