Loading paper in the bypass tray

Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray
� Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray. � Be sure to place A6 and B6 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") size paper and envelopes horizontally as shown in the following diagram.

1

Open the bypass tray.

Pull out the bypass tray extension to load B4 and A3 (8-1/2" x 14" and 11" x 17") size paper. � 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 except 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.

2

Set the bypass tray guides to the paper width.

3

Insert the copy paper (print side down) all the way into the bypass tray.
Make sure that the print side of the paper is face down. To prevent a misfeed, verify once more that the bypass tray guides are adjusted to the width of the paper.
Note
If you loaded paper in the bypass tray, press the [PAPER SELECT] key to select the bypass tray.

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.
