Copying from the Bypass Tray

Use the bypass tray to copy onto OHP transparencies, thick paper, envelopes, and paper that cannot be loaded in the paper trays.

Important

  • Paper that has a vertical length of 90 - 216mm (3.55"-8.50") and a horizontal length of 139 - 600mm (5.48"-23.62") can be copied from the bypass tray. However, when paper larger than 356mm (14.02") in size is used, the paper may become wrinkled, may not be fed into the machine, or may cause paper jams.
    □ You cannot use the duplex function when copying from the bypass tray.

Loading Paper on the Bypass Tray

Use the bypass tray to copy onto OHP transparencies, thick paper, envelopes and paper that cannot be loaded in the paper trays.

Important

  • When copying on OHP transparencies or paper heavier than 157g / m^2 (about 42 lb.) you need to specify the type and size of paper.
    The maximum number of sheets you can load into the bypass tray depends on the paper type. Load only as much paper as can be held between the paper guides on the bypass tray.

Open the bypass tray.

Align the paper guides to the paper size, and then insert the paper face down.

If the guides are not flush against the paper, images might be skewed or paper misfeeds might occur.

Load only as much paper as can be held between the guides on the bypass tray. Overloading the bypass tray can result in misfeeds and skewed images.

To support A4 , 8^1/2" × 11'' , or larger paper sizes, pull out the extender.

To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan paper before placing it on the tray.

When Copying onto OHP Transparency

When copying onto OHP transparencies, select [OHP (Transparency)] in Paper Type.

Important

  • OHP transparencies must be loaded face down in the tray with the notched corner of the sheet in the appropriate corner of the tray.
  • Load OHP transparencies one at time in the bypass tray. This prevents multiple sheets being fed in together, which can cause jams and misprints.
  • Remove copied sheets from the internal tray one by one.

  • The following paper sizes and orientations can be duplexed.

$$ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm {A 4 \square , B 5 J I S \square , 8 ^ {1} / _ {2} " \times 1 4 " \square , 8 ^ {1} / _ {2} " \times 1 3 " \square , 8 ^ {1} / _ {2} " \times 1 1 " \square , 8 ^ {1} / _ {4} " \times 1 4 " \square ,} \ \mathrm {8 ^ {1} / _ {4} " \times 1 3 " \square , 1 6 K \square} \end{array} $$

  • You cannot use the following paper with this function:

  • Paper smaller than B5 JIS or 8^1 / _2^ × 11^

  • Paper thicker than 90g / m^2 (24 lb.)
  • Paper thinner than 64g / m^2 (17 lb.)
  • Translucent paper
    Label paper (adhesive labels)
  • OHP transparencies
    Thick paper
  • Envelopes

  • When an odd number of originals is placed in the ARDF, the back of the last page of copied paper is blank.

  • During copying, the image is shifted to allow for the binding margin.

Combine

  • In this mode, the machine selects the reproduction ratio automatically. This reproduction ratio depends on paper size and the number of originals.
  • The reproduction ratios selectable by the machine are 50 - 200% .
  • If the calculated ratio is under the minimum ratio, it is automatically adjusted to within the available range. However, with some ratios, parts of the image might not be copied.
  • If the orientation of originals is different from that of the paper, the machine will automatically rotate the image by 90^ to make copies properly.
  • If the number of originals placed is less than the number specified for combining, the last page segment is left blank as shown.

Duplex Margin

  • If you set a binding margin that is too wide, parts of the image may not be copied.
  • When making copies using the Combine function, a binding margin is added to copies after the images are combined.
