Loading paper in the bypass tray
The bypass tray can be used to print on plain paper, postcards, label sheets, tabbed paper, and other special papers.
When using SHARP standard paper, up to 100 sheets can be loaded (up to 20 postcards) for continuous printing
similar to the other trays. For the paper types that can be used in the bypass tray, see Specifications of paper trays
(Types and sizes of paper that can be used in the trays) on page 2-8.
1Open the bypass tray.
When loading A3, B4,
A4R, 11 x 17, 8-1/2 x
14, 8-1/2 x 13 or
8-1/2 x 11R size paper,
be sure to pull the
auxiliary tray all the way
out. If the auxiliary tray is
not pulled all the way out, the size of the loaded
paper will not be correctly displayed.
2Set the bypass tray guides to the width of
the copy paper.
3Insert the copy paper all the way into the
bypass tray. (Do not force the paper in.)
Place the copy paper
face up. If the bypass
tray guides are set wider
than the copy paper, the
inside of the machine
may become soiled,
resulting in smudges on
succeeding copies. A gap may cause skewing
or wrinkling.
4Set the type and size of the paper loaded in
the bypass tray.
If the paper size was changed from an AB size to an
inch size, or from an inch size to an AB size,  or if the
paper type was changed, be sure to change the
appropriate settings as explained in Setting the
paper type and paper size (see page 2-10).
5This completes the procedure for loading
paper in the bypass tray.

 Loading tabbed paper in the bypass
tray
[Example]
Make sure that the positions of the tabs correspond
with the originals as shown below.
Place the tabbed paper  face up.
NOTE
After loading the paper in the bypass tray, be sure to set the paper type and size (step 4) if these were changed.

Important points when using the
bypass tray
Be sure to load A5 paper, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 paper
and postcards as shown (1) horizontal loading in
the diagram below.
(1):Horizontal loading
(2):Vertical loading
When loading plain paper other than SHARP
standard paper, special media other than
postcards, SHARP-recommended transparency
film, or paper to be printed on the back, the
paper must be loaded one sheet at a time.
Loading more than one sheet at a time will cause
misfeeds.
Before loading heavy paper, straighten any
curling in the paper.
When adding paper, remove any paper
remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper
to be added, and reload as a single stack.
Do not use paper that has already been printed
on by a plain paper fax machine or a laser
printer. This may cause printed images to
become dirty.
When printing on transparency film, be sure to
remove each sheet as it exits the machine.
Allowing sheets to stack in the output tray may
cause curling.
Use only Sharp-recommended transparency
film. Transparency film should be loaded in the
bypass tray with the label facing down and the
film oriented vertically. Smudging and a dirty
image may result if the film is placed with the
label facing up.
When loading multiple sheets of transparency
film in the bypass tray, be sure to fan the sheets
several times before loading.
Use only tabbed sheets that are made of paper.
Tabbed sheets made of film or other material
cannot be used.
