The bypass tray allows you to copy non-standard paper.
Use the bypass tray to copy onto OHP transparencies, adhesive labels, translucent paper, and paper that cannot be loaded in the paper trays.
The Duplex function cannot be performed on paper fed from the bypass tray. If [1 Sided 2 Sided] is selected, cancel the setting. You can also change the initial settings. See “Registering the Initial Display's Default Functions”.
Paper that has a vertical length of 100 - 305 mm (3.94 - 12 inches) and a horizontal length of 148 - 457.2 mm (5.83 - 18 inches) can be copied from the bypass tray.
The machine can automatically detect the following sizes as regular size copy paper:
Metric version: A3, A4
, A5
, 8 × 13
Inch version: A3, 11 × 17
, 81/2 × 14
, 51/2 × 81/2
If you want to use the size of paper other than the above, be sure to specify the size.
When copying onto OHP transparencies, paper of 65.9 g/m2 (about 18 lb.) or less, or paper of 81 g/m2 (about 22 lb.) or above, you need to specify the type and size of paper under Tray Paper Settings in User Tools. For details about Tray Paper Settings, see “System Settings”, General Settings Guide.
Do not use colour OHP transparencies that have easily melted coatings.
The maximum number of sheets you can load at the same time depends on paper type. Load only as much paper as can be held between the paper guides on the bypass tray.
[Bypass Tray Usage]
Press [Bypass Tray Usage] to display a description on using the bypass tray.
Open the bypass tray.
Insert the paper face-up until you hear the beep, and then align the paper guides to the paper size.
If the guides are not flush against the paper, images might be skewed or paper misfeeds might occur.
Extender
Paper guides
Press [Bypass], and then press the [
] key.
Select the size and type of the paper.
Press [OK].
Place the originals, and then press the [Start] key.
When the copy job is finished, press the [Clear Modes] key to clear the settings.
Load only as much paper as can be held between the guides on the bypass tray. Overloading the bypass tray can result in misfeeds and skewed images.
To support A4, 81/2 × 11
or larger paper sizes, pull out the extender.
To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan paper before placing it on the tray.
When the Sort function is selected, press the [] key after all originals have been scanned.
When the Panel Key Sound is turned off, it will not sound if you insert paper into the bypass tray. For details about Panel Key Sound, see “System Settings”, General Settings Guide.
Printing on special paper such as OHP transparencies and thick paper may be slower than printing on plain paper.
When copying multiple originals using the bypass tray, pages are delivered in reverse order because the factory default setting is face up. You can change the settings under Copy Eject Face Method in Bypass Mode in User Tools.
If you place originals on the exposure glass and want the copies to be delivered face down, select Face Down for both Copy Eject Face Method in Glass Mode and Copy Eject Face Method in Bypass Mode.
When copying onto special paper such as adhesive labels, always select Face Up for Copy Eject Face Method in Bypass Mode. If you select Face Down, a paper misfeed may occur.
For details about Copy Eject Face Method in Glass Mode and Copy Eject Face Method in Bypass Mode, see “Copier/Document Server Features”, General Settings Guide.
If you select Tab Stock, you cannot have copies delivered face up.
If you use paper larger than 458 mm, 18.1 inches in size, you cannot have copies delivered face down.
If you select OHP (Transparency), Label Paper, Thick Paper 2, or Thick Paper 3 in Paper Type: Bypass Tray, you cannot have copies delivered face down.
Depending on the environment where the machine is being used, you might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does not indicate a malfunction.
We recommend that you use a 4000ANSI lumen or brighter overhead projector to project OHP transparencies.
For standard paper sizes that can be used with the bypass tray, see “Supplementary Information”.
