32 Bypass Copying
0.Bypass Copying
When you make copies on OHP film, sticker labels, envelopes, or non-standard size paper, place the copy paper on the
bypass tray. Bypass copying is also recommended for copying on standard size paper which is not set in any of the
drawers.
Be careful not to cut your fingers when fanning paper.
This could cause an injury.
The height of the paper must not exceed the indicator on the side guides.
When you use more than one sheet of paper, fan the sheets well before placing them on the bypass tray.
Do not push paper into the entrance of the bypass feeder. This could cause a paper misfeed.
When you copy on sheets of OHP film, remove the copied OHP film one sheet at a time as they exit onto the
receiving tray. If the sheets of OHP film pile up, they may get curled and may not be projected properly.
If you place the originals on the ADF for bypass copying and do not set the paper size, the originals will be copied
upside down. Be sure to set the paper size when you wish to do bypass copying.
To learn how to place paper on the bypass tray, refer to the Paper Preparation Guide.
Bypass copying stops when the paper placed on the bypass tray runs out during copying, even if the paper of the
same size is in any of the drawers. Copying restarts when paper is supplied to the bypass tray.
When bypass copying has been completed, the [FUNCTION CLEAR] button on the control panel blinks. Press this
button to switch bypass copying to normal copying using the drawers.
(Even if you do not press the [FUNCTION CLEAR] button, the bypass copying mode will be cleared when the
automatic function clear mode kicks in after a specified period of time.)
There is no affect on the printing quality though noise may occur during paper feeding depending on the paper
type.
The operating procedure for bypass copying differs depending on the paper size to be used. See the table below for
