Common Settings
Stack Bypass Standard SettingsSets the paper size and type that the stack bypass uses 
beforehand. This setting is useful if you always load the same 
paper size and type into the stack bypass.
If the Stack Bypass Standard Settings are stored when using 
the Send function, you can also use the stack bypass to 
receive I‑fax or fax documents.

When printing on special types of paper, such as heavyweight 
paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, 
especially if you are using heavyweight paper. If the type of paper 
is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the 
image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a 
service repair, or the paper could jam.
If you are using the stack bypass as a paper source for Copy 
and Receive (I‑fax or fax), you must select the stack bypass 
when specifying the Drawer Eligibility for APS/ADS setting. (See 
“Automatic Paper Selection/Automatic Drawer Switching,” on 
p. 
2‑25.)

preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already 
printed on it) without changing the orientation of the paper 
of the paper loaded in a paper source.

compression ratio reduces the amount of memory used 
for scanning the document, but results in a lower image 
quality. On the contrary, a low compression ratio increases 
the amount of memory used for scanning the document, but 
results in a higher image quality.
