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.

Paper sizes that can be loaded onto the bypass tray are 90-216 mm (3.55-8.50 in.) vertical, and 139-600 mm (5.48-23.62 in.) horizontal.
When paper larger than 600 mm (23.62 in.) in length is used, the paper may become wrinkled, may not be fed into the machine, or may cause paper jams.
If you want to use the bypass tray, be sure to specify the paper size and paper type.
The following functions are disabled when printing from the bypass tray:
- Duplex printing
- Auto Tray Select
- Auto Tray Switching
Certain types of OHP transparencies for color printing cannot be used. For details about types that can be used, contact your sales or service representative.

Do not stack paper over the limit mark, otherwise a skewed image or misfeeds might occur.
Open out the extender to support paper sizes larger than A4, 8¹/₂" 11 ".

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.
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", Network and System Settings Guide.
