–To print on the back side of preprinted paper, load the preprinted paper face up into the stack bypass, as shown in the illustration below.

The screen for selecting the paper size appears.

–When loading paper into the stack bypass, align the paper stack neatly between the slide guides. If the paper is not loaded correctly, a paper jam may occur.

–If you are printing on heavyweight paper or envelopes using the stack bypass, and find that the paper or envelopes are not being fed smoothly or evenly through the stack bypass, remove the paper or envelopes, curl the feeding edges upward approximately 1/8" (3 mm), and then reload the paper or envelopes. Curling the feeding edges enables the rollers to grip the paper or envelopes as they are fed into the stack bypass.

–If there are instructions on the paper package about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions.

–When the paper is loaded into the stack bypass, the side facing down is the one printed on.

–If problems, such as poor print quality or paper jams occur, try turning the paper stack over and reload it.

–For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it), see “Loading Preprinted Paper,” on p. 2‑29.

●If you are loading envelopes into the stack bypass:

1 Take five envelopes, loosen them as shown, and then stack them together.

2 Repeat this step five times for each set of five envelopes.

Paper and Original

3 Place the envelopes on a clean, level surface, and press all the way around the envelopes by hand, in the direction of the arrows, to remove any curls. Repeat this step five times for each set of five envelopes.

Take particular care to spread the envelopes out in the direction that they will be fed.
