MAKING COPIES USING THE BYPASS TRAY
In addition to plain paper, the bypass tray allows you to make copies on transparency film, envelopes, tab paper, and 
other special media.
For detailed information on paper that can be loaded in the bypass tray, see IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT PAPER 
(page 1-27) in 1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE. For precautions when loading paper in the bypass tray, see 
LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY (page 1-34) in 1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE.
1
Place the original.
Place the original face up in the document feeder tray, or face 
down on the document glass.
When placing the originals on the document glass...
After placing the original, be sure to close the automatic 
document feeder. If left open, parts outside of the original will 
be copied black, causing excessive use of toner.
2
Place paper in the bypass tray.
Insert the paper with print side face down.
However, if the paper type is Letter Head or Pre-Printed, 
load the paper with the print side face up*.
* If Disabling of Duplex is enabled in the system settings 
(administrator), load the paper in the normal way (face up in 
trays 1 to 5; face down in the bypass tray).
When loading paper larger than 8-1/2 x 11R or A4R, be sure 
to pull out the bypass tray extension. Pull the bypass tray 
extension all the way out. If the bypass tray extension is not 
pulled all the way out, the size of the loaded paper will not be 
correctly displayed.
