Load Paper in the Bypass Tray (Tray 5)

NOTE: There is a Video available at the end of this solution.

NOTE: The images in this procedure are for demonstration purposes only and may not specifically match your printer model; colors, icons, and other minor differences may exist.

CAUTION: The Bypass Tray (Tray 5) was designed to only lower to a 45 degree angle. Do not force the tray past this angle or it will break.

Paper Loading Guidelines:

• Do not overfill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the maximum fill line in the tray.

• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.

• Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray.

• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.

• Use only recommended Xerox transparencies. Print quality could vary with other transparencies.

• Do not print on label media once a label has been removed from a sheet.

• Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1-sided only.

Tray 5 is located on the left side of the printer. You can close the tray when it is not in use. You can use the tray for small jobs or for jobs that use special media such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes.

When the printer detects media in Tray 5, the control panel displays the paper settings for the tray. Confirm or change the settings for the media loaded in the tray.

Note: Ensure that you select the correct media type for the paper that is loaded in the tray. The printer detects different types of media as each page travels through the paper path. If a paper-type setting does not match the paper type loaded in the printer, the job stops printing.

1. Open Tray 5, then pull out the extension tray for larger paper sizes. Remove any paper that is a different size or type.
   
   
   
   

2. Move the width guides to the edges of the tray.
   
   
   
   

3. Load the paper in the tray.

   • For long-edge feed, insert letterhead and pre-printed paper face up with the top edge toward the front of the tray. Load hole-punched paper with the holes to the right.
     
     
     
     

   • Load labels face down, long-edge or short-edge feed.

   • Load plain transparencies face down with the long edge leading into the printer. Load striped transparencies with the stripe face up on the edge leading into the printer.
     
     Note: Do not load paper-backed transparencies in Tray 5.
     
     
     
     

   • For short-edge feed, insert letterhead and pre-printed paper face up with the top edge leading into the printer. Load hole-punched paper with the holes toward the rear of the printer.
     
     Note: Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. Overfilling the tray can cause the printer to jam.
     
     
     
     

4. Adjust the width guides until they touch the edges of the paper.
   
   
   
   

5. At the control panel, select the correct paper size, type, and color.
