Setting Paper on the Bypass Tray

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

For details about supported paper sizes and types, see “Paper Size and Paper Type”, About This Machine.

Important

Paper that has a vertical length of 210 - 914.4 mm (8.27 - 36 inches) and a horizontal length of 257 - 2000 mm (10.12 - 78.74 inches) can be copied from the bypass tray.

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

Insert the paper in the bypass tray lengthwise when you use A0Ksize paper.

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

•Auto Tray Select

•Auto Tray Switching

•Folding (when the optional Folding Finisher)

You cannot print or insert paper into the bypass tray during printing.

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

You can omit the following procedures by setting [Printer Features], [System], [Bypass Tray Setting Priority] to [Driver / Command]. Then you can use the printer driver to specify the paper size.

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

ATZ030S

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

C Send the print job to the machine.

D Gently 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.

ATZ031S

E Check that the paper is properly fed.

Note

Insert the paper until you hear the beep.

When loading translucent paper or film, specify the paper size and type.

If you are printing multiple pages, feed the next sheet.
