■ To print on the back side of preprinted 
paper
① 
Load the preprinted paper face up into the 
stack bypass tray, as shown in the 
illustration below.
The screen for selecting the paper size appears.
When loading paper into the stack bypass tray, align the paper stack neatly between the slide guides. If the paper is not loaded correctly, a paper jam may occur.If you are printing on heavyweight paper or envelopes using the stack bypass tray, and find that the paper or envelopes are not being fed smoothly or evenly through the stack bypass tray, remove the paper or envelopes, curl the feeding edges upward approximately 1/8" 
(3 mm), and then reload the paper or 
envelopes. Curling the feeding edges enables the rollers to grip the paper or envelopes as they are fed into the machine from the stack bypass tray.
If there are instructions on the paper package about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions.When the paper is loaded into the stack bypass tray, the side facing down is the one printed on.If problems, such as poor print quality or paper jams occur, try turning the paper stack over and reload it.

■ If you are loading envelopes into the stack 
bypass tray:
① 
Take five envelopes, loosen them as shown, 
and then stack them together.  
Repeat this step five times for each set of 
five envelopes.
② Place the envelopes on a clean, level 
surface, and press all the way around the 
envelopes by hand, in the direction of the 
arrows, to remove any curls. Repeat this 
step five times for each set of five 
envelopes.
Take particular care to spread the envelopes out in the direction that they will be fed.
③ Hold down the four corners of the 
envelopes firmly, so that they and the 
sealed or glued portion stay flat.
Do not print on the back side of the envelopes (the side with the flap).If the envelopes become filled with air, flatten them by hand before loading them into the stack bypass tray.
