fore continuing the rest of the job. After the Sample Copy, you can choose to cancel, adjust, or continue the job.

Using the Bypass Tray

The Bypass Tray can be used for paper that isn’t normally loaded in the paper trays, or for paper that is too heavy to pass
through the paper trays. It can also be used for odd-sized paper, one-time use paper, overhead transparencies, or enve-

lopes. The paper size and type should be dened before use.

Open the bypass tray from the side of the
MFP.

1. The paper size in the Bypass Tray is displayed.

Insert paper face down until you hear a beep,
and adjust the guides tightly to the paper. If
the guides are not ush to the paper, mis­feeds or skewed images might occur.

the Bypass Tray Paper screen. To dene the paper size,
select [Paper Size]. Later, you will dene [Paper Type].

3. Select your paper size, or select [Custom Size] to manually

dene a non-standard size. Then, select [OK].

Job Preset

If a long job is in progress, you can start the next job in advance while the rst job is still copying. This allows you to dene
the settings for the next job without waiting for the rst job to complete. When the current copy job is nished, the next job

will start automatically.

1. While the rst job is copying, you’ll see that most buttons

are grayed out. To begin a second job, select [New Job].

3. Select the options you want for job #2. In our case, we
selected [1-sided to 2-sided], [Sort] and [Staple].

4. Place the originals in the Document Feeder, and select
[Start].

2. Now that you’re on job number 2, the buttons are no longer
grayed out. You can always return to Job #1 by selecting [To
Copying Screen].

5. You will be notied when the job has been scanned, and

that it can be checked in the Job List. Select [Exit]. Your job
will start immediately after the previous job has completed.
