Loading the manual bypass

The manual bypass is located at the front of your machine.

Use the manual bypass to print transparencies, labels, envelopes or postcards. Make sure that the specialty media is flat and free of any curls.

You may also use the manual bypass to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray.

For information on acceptable print media to use in the manual bypass, see “Selecting print materials” on page 21. Using only the specified print media helps prevent paper jams and print quality problems.

To load the manual bypass:

1Place a sheet of the selected print media, print side facing up, into the center of the manual bypass, and adjust the paper guides to the paper’s width.

The machine automatically engages the print media.

Note:

Hold transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can effect print quality.

Insert envelopes with the flap side face down and with the stamp area on the top left side.

If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around.
