Loading the bypass tray
1
Unfold the bypass tray.
When feeding large 
paper such as B4 and A3 
(8-1/2" x 14" and 
11" x 17"), pull out the 
bypass tray extension.
2
Set the paper guides to the copy 
paper width.
3
Insert the paper (print face down) all 
the way into the bypass tray.
To prevent a misfeed, 
verify once more that the 
paper guides are 
adjusted to the width of 
the paper.
Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray
• Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray.
• Be sure to place A6, B6 or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper or envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram 
().
• When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued construction 
flaps (not the closure flap).
• Special papers except SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a 
time through the bypass tray.
• When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added and then 
reload as a single stack. The paper to be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.
• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or unclean images.
• Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This may cause 
smudges or unclean images. 
• If you loaded paper in the bypass tray, 
press the [PAPER SELECT] key ( ) to 
select the bypass tray. The bypass tray will 
not be selected automatically.
• If you load thick paper in the bypass tray, 
hold down the [TRAY SETTING] key 
( ) for more than 5 seconds, use the 
[PAPER SELECT] key ( ) to select the 
bypass tray, and press the [AUTO IMAGE] 
key ( ). When AUTO IMAGE 
indicator ( ) lights up, the paper type 
is set to thick paper. The setting is cleared 
when "Auto clear" works or the [CLEAR 
ALL] key ( ) is pressed.
