Loading Paper into the Bypass Tray

Use the bypass tray to use OHP transparencies and paper that cannot be loaded in the paper trays.

Important

  • The maximum number of sheets you can load at the same time depends on paper type. Do not stack paper over the limit mark. For the maximum number of sheets you can load, see Recommended Paper Sizes and Types.

  • Do not mix different types of paper.

  • After loading paper, specify the paper size and type using the control panel. When printing a document, specify the same paper size and type in the printer driver as specified on the machine.

  • When loading label paper, load it one by one.
