Loading Paper in the Bypass Tray
Before printing on paper other than envelopes, make sure to pull up the levers on the machine rear, inside the rear cover. Leaving the levers lowered can cause print quality problems when printing on paper other than envelopes.
Make sure paper is not stacked above the paper guides inside the bypass tray.
After loading paper in the tray, specify the paper type and size using the control panel to avoid printing problems. This machine does not detect the paper size automatically..
If paper is curled, straighten it before loading, by bending the paper in the opposite direction to the curl, for example.
Do not load paper while the machine is printing.
Open the bypass tray.
If you load A4 (297 mm) or larger size paper, pull out the bypass tray extension.
Slide the side guides outward, then load paper with the print side up, and push in until it stops against the machine.
Adjust the side guides to the paper width.
After loading paper in the tray, specify the paper type and size using the control panel. Also, specify the printer driver's paper setting accordingly before printing.
