Copying from the Bypass Tray

The bypass tray allows you to copy non-standard paper.

Use the bypass tray to copy onto OHP transparencies, adhesive labels, translucent paper, and paper that cannot be loaded in the paper trays.

Important

  • The Duplex function cannot be performed on paper fed from the bypass tray. If [1 Sided 2 Sided] is selected, cancel the setting. You can also change the initial settings. See “Changing the Default Functions of the Copy's Initial Display”.

  • The size of sheets you can copy onto from the bypass tray varies depending on whether or not a finisher is installed and the model of the finisher.

    • Finisher not installed: 100 - 305 mm (3.9 - 12 inches) vertical length; 139.7 - 600 mm (5.5 - 23.6 inches) horizontal length.

    • Finisher SR4030 or SR4040 installed: 100 - 305 mm (3.9 - 12 inches) vertical length; 139.7 - 487.6 mm (5.5 - 19.2 inches) horizontal length.

    • Finisher SR4050 installed: 100 - 305 mm (3.9 - 12 inches) vertical length; 139.7 - 458 mm (5.5 - 18 inches) horizontal length.

  • The machine can automatically detect the following sizes as regular size copy paper:

    • Metric version: A3Landscape, A4PortraitLandscape, A5PortraitLandscape

    • Inch version: A3Landscape, 11 × 17Landscape, 81/2 × 14Landscape, 81/2 × 11PortraitLandscape, 51/2 × 81/2PortraitLandscape

      If you want to use the size of paper other than the above, be sure to specify the size.

  • When copying onto OHP transparencies, or paper of 104 g/m2 (about 28 lb. Bond) or above, you need to specify the type and size of the paper under Tray Paper Settings in User Tools. For details about Tray Paper Settings, see “System Settings”, Network and System Settings GuideIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

  • The maximum number of sheets you can load at the same time depends on paper type. Load only as much paper as can be held between the paper guides on the bypass tray.

  • When copying onto translucent paper, you need to specify the type and size of the paper.

  • When paper larger than 432 mm (17 inches) in size is used, the paper may become wrinkled, may not be fed into the machine, or may cause paper jams.

  • When copying onto special paper such as adhesive labels, always select “Face Up”. If you select “Face Down”, a paper misfeed may occur.

  • If you place originals on the exposure glass and want the copies to be delivered face down, select “Face Down” for both “Copy Eject Face Method in Glass Mode” and “Copy Eject Face Method in Bypass Mode” of User Tools.

Note

  • Certain types of paper might not be detected properly when placed on the bypass tray. If this happens, remove the paper and place it on the bypass tray again.

  • Load only as much paper as can be held between the guides on the bypass tray. Overloading the bypass tray can result in misfeeds and skewed images.

  • To support A4Landscape, 81/2 × 11Landscape or larger paper sizes, pull out the extender.

  • To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan paper before placing it on the tray.

  • When the Panel Key Sound is turned off, it will not sound if you insert paper into the bypass tray. For details about Panel Key Sound, see “System Settings”, Network and System Settings GuideIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

  • Depending on the environment where the machine is being used, you might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does not indicate a malfunction.

  • The following paper sizes can be selected as the standard sizes:

    • A3Landscape, A4PortraitLandscape, A5PortraitLandscape, A6Landscape, B4 JISLandscape, B5 JISPortraitLandscape, B6 JISLandscape, 11 × 17Landscape, 81/2 × 14Landscape, 81/2 × 13Landscape, 81/2 × 11PortraitLandscape, 81/4 × 14Landscape, 81/4 × 13Landscape, 8 × 13Landscape, 8 × 101/2PortraitLandscape, 8 × 10PortraitLandscape, 71/4 × 101/2PortraitLandscape, 51/2 × 81/2PortraitLandscape, 11 × 15Landscape, 11 × 14Landscape, 10 × 15Landscape, 10 × 14Landscape
