  • Film and/or dust has built up on the sensors
  • The carriage return setting needs to be changed to fit the media size
  • Only a small piece of information is being printed on the envelope, like a pair of initials

Resolution

Follow these steps to resolve the "Address Too High" message:
  1. Review the address layout:
    1. Check if the address is within 1/8'' from the top of the envelope/media.
    2. If the address is less than 1/8" from the top of envelope/media, move the address down.
  2. Clear dust off of the sensors:
    1. Lift the transport door.
    2. Use compressed air to blow dust away from the sensors.
