Load Paper or Specialty Media in the Bypass Tray (Paper Tray 5) and Configure the Tray Settings on the Touch Screen

The Bypass Tray, located on the left side of the printer, can be used to print a variety of media types and custom sizes. It is primarily intended for small jobs using special media; however, a tray extension is provided to accommodate larger paper.

After loading paper in the tray, make sure that the tray settings on the Touch Screen match the paper size and type loaded.

To load the Bypass Tray:

1. Open the tray by lowering it down. For larger paper, pull the extension straight out until it stops.
   
   
   
   
   
   

2. Fan the paper and then load it either long edge feed (LEF) or short edge feed (SEF).
   
   NOTE: Larger paper sizes can only be fed SEF. Load preprinted letterhead face-up with the top toward front of machine.
   
   
   
   NOTE: Do not load paper above the Maximum Fill line; doing so may cause paper jams. See the Related Content for additional information regarding paper specifications.
   
   
   
   

3. Slide the guides so they just touch the edges of the paper stack.
   
   
   
   

4. Make sure the paper tray settings match the paper loaded in the tray.

   1. Select the [Confirm] button on the Touch Screen if tray settings match, or select the [Change Settings] button if they do not match and continue with the next step.

   2. Select [Size], and then select the size of paper loaded in the tray.

   3. Select [Type], and then select the type of paper loaded in the tray.
      
      NOTE: If the paper type is not listed, select [Other Media Selections] for an expanded list of paper types.
      
      

   4. Select [Color], and then select the color of paper loaded in the tray.

   5. Select the [Confirm] button.
