Setting Thick Paper or OHP Transparencies Using the Control Panel

Follow the procedure below to set the machine using the control panel when loading thick paper or OHP transparencies onto the bypass tray.

Important

  • If the printer driver is not used, select [Machine Settings] from [Bypass Tray Setting Priority] in [System] of [Printer Features] (see "System"). Set the paper size using the control panel.
