Loading Paper in the Bypass Tray
The Bypass Tray supports the widest variety of media types. The tray is intended primarily for small-quantity jobs that use special media.
The Bypass Tray is located above Tray 1. To load paper in the Bypass Tray:
1. Open the Bypass Tray. Push the release latch (1) at the front-right side of the tray.
2. If the tray is loaded with paper, remove any paper that is of different size or type.
Note:For larger paper sizes, pull out the extension tray.
3. Move the width guides to the right edge of the tray.
4. Flex the sheets back and forth and fan them, then align the edges of the stack on a level surface. The procedure separates any sheets that are stuck together and reduces the possibility of paper jams.
WARNING: To avoid jams and misfeeds, do not remove paper from its packaging until you are ready to use it.
5. Load the paper in the Bypass Tray.
a. For short-edge feed printing, load letterhead and pre-printed paper face down with the top edge toward the feed direction of the paper.
Long-edge feed is the recommended orientation for A5 (148 x 210 mm, 5.8 x 8.3 in.) paper.
WARNING: Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause paper jams.
b. For hole-punched paper, load the paper short-edge feed with the holes at the right side of the paper.
6. Adjust the width guides until they touch the edges of the paper.
7. At the control panel, select the correct paper size, type, and color.
•If letterhead paper is loaded in the printer, for type, select Letterhead.
•If pre-printed paper is loaded in the printer, for type, select Pre-printed.
