Bypass Tray (Tray 5)
The bypass tray allows you to use a variety of paper types. The bypass tray is located
on the left-hand side of the machine. A tray extension is provided to accommodate
larger sized paper. After loading paper stock in the bypass tray, make sure that the
bypass tray settings on the touch screen match the paper size and type of the stock
loaded. If they do not match, reprogramming is required. For more information on
programming of the bypass tray, refer to [Tray 5 (Bypass)] Screen in the Copy chapter
on page 46.
NOTE: To reduce unnecessary fuser and paper jams, it is important that the
programmed paper size and type is identical to the paper stock loaded.
1. Load the paper neatly into the
bypass tray, making sure that
the paper stock is in the center
of the tray.
NOTE: Do not load paper above the
maximum fill line.
NOTE: When making single/double
sided copies on perforated paper,
load the paper to feed the opposite
side of the perforated side edge first.
Feeding the perforated side edge
first might cause paper jams.
NOTE: When making copies or
printing on thick paper and the paper
is not fed into the machine, curl the
leading edge of the paper as shown
in the diagram. Note, however, that
bending or folding the paper
excessively might cause paper jams.
NOTE: When loading envelopes,
make sure the flaps are closed, and
that the envelopes are oriented on
the tray so that the flaps will enter
the machine first. However, when
loading C5-size envelopes, set then
LEF so that the edge with the flaps is
facing toward you.
2. Slide the side guides towards
the paper until they are just
touching the edge of the stock.
