• Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a single stack with the new paper.
• Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
• When loading paper, ensure that there is no space between the paper and the guide, and make sure that the guide is not set too narrow and causes the paper to bend. Incorrect loading will cause the paper to skew or misfeed.

5 Gently push the paper tray back into the machine.

• If you loaded a paper size that is different from the previously loaded paper size, change the paper size setting as explained in "CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING" (p.23)
• When not using the machine for an extended period, remove all paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the machine for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)

The bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels, envelopes, and other special purpose paper.

Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray

Up to 50 sheets of standard copy paper can be inserted in the bypass tray. (Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)

Be sure to place 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 such as 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.

Envelopes

Do not use the following envelopes, as misfeeds will occur.

- Envelopes with metal tabs, clasps, strings, holes, or windows.

- Envelopes with rough fibers, carbon paper, or glossy surfaces.

- Envelopes with two or more flaps.

- Envelopes with tape, film, or paper attached to the flap.

- Envelopes with a fold in the flap.

- Envelopes with glue on the flap to be moistened for sealing.

- Envelopes with labels or stamps.

- Envelopes that are slightly inflated with air.

- Envelopes with glue protruding from the seal area.

- Envelopes with part of the seal area peeled off.

- Be sure to select com9, com10 or Monarch in the paper size setting of the printer driver. (For detailed information on the printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

Loading paper in the bypass tray

• Paper must be fed narrow side first into the feed slot.
• Special papers such as transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at a time through the bypass tray.
• When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy promptly. Do not let copies stack up.

1 Open the bypass tray and extend the tray.

To close the bypass tray, perform step 1 and then step in the illustration and push the round projections at the right of the tray until they click.

2 Set the bypass tray paper guides to the paper width. Insert the paper (print face down) all the way into the bypass tray.

3 Press the [TRAY SELECT] key ( ) to select the bypass tray.

Note for loading thick paper

Confirm that user program 29 is set to "2 (HEAVY PAPER)" when using thick paper. (See page 65.)

CHANGING A TRAY'S PAPER SIZE SETTING

Carcinogenicity : In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black
