BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
Loading the bypass tray
1 Unfold the bypass tray.
3 Insert the paper (print face down) all the way into the bypass tray.
To prevent a misfeed, verify once more that the paper guides are adjusted to the width of the paper.
When feeding large paper such as 8-1/2" x 14" and 11" x 17", pull out the bypass tray extension.
If you loaded paper in the bypass tray, press Note the [TRAY SELECT] key (
) to select the
bypass tray. The bypass tray will not be selected automatically.
2 Set the paper guides to the copy paper width.
Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray
•Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray.
•Be sure to place 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper or envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram (
).
•When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued construction flaps (not the closure flap).
•Special papers except SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a time through the bypass tray.
•When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added and then reload as a single stack. The paper to be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.
•Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or unclean images.
•Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This may cause smudges or unclean images.
