Setting Paper on the Bypass Tray

This section gives instructions for setting paper on the bypass tray.

For details about paper size and paper type, see "Paper Size and Paper Type", About This Machine.

Important

  • Paper sizes that can be loaded onto the bypass tray are 182 - 2000 mm (7.17 - 78.74 in.) vertical, and 210 - 914.4 mm (8.27 - 36 in.) horizontal.

  • Insert the paper in the bypass tray lengthwise or sideways to fit it onto the feeding orientation.

  • The following functions are disabled when printing from the bypass tray:

    • Auto Tray Select

    • Auto Tray Switching

    • Folding(when the optional folding finisher installed)

1Set the paper size using the printer driver or control panel.

2Adjust the bypass tray's paper guides to the size of the paper.

If the paper size of the paper guide and the paper do not match, skewing and misfeeds might occur.

3Send the print job to the machine.

4Gently push the paper face up into the bypass tray until the beeper sounds.

Place the paper centrally, so that the space on either side of its edges is even.

Then push it carefully in, so that it makes light contact with the feed rollers.

Support the paper with your hands until it feeds in.

The paper feeds into the machine automatically and printing starts.
