A bypass tray is also referred to as the general-purpose tray, or the multi-purpose tray is a tray that you can place on the copier that is employed to print jobs onto paper that is not compatible with running through the main tray on the device. It is ideal for OHP transparenciesand transparent paper, adhesive labels as well as paper that cannot be loaded into the tray for paper. It is also possible to make use of the bypass tray to print on plain labels, paper tab paper, label sheets as well as other specific media.
This is a brief overview of Canon printers, however it is similar to the majority of major printer models.
Before printing, make sure you remember:
* If the drawer for paper is not properly set to the correct position, you won’t be allowed to print or copy from the bypass tray for stacks.
* If the size of the document you plan to put into the tray for stack bypass is different from the size that is stored in the Standard Settings of the stack bypass tray Set the stack bypass tray’s Standard Settings to ‘Off’ within common settings (from the screen with Additional Functions).
Before Inserting Paper
- If you utilize the tray stack bypass for making copies, straighten the curled paper before using in the manner shown below. The curled paper could cause a paper jam.
- If you have difficulty straightening the curled paper, you can curl the edges of the front edge of the paper up, as illustrated below.
Loading Envelopes
- Pick five envelopes, move them around as shown, then stack them. Repeat this process 5 times per five envelopes in the set.
- The envelopes should be placed on a dry smooth surface. Then push all over the envelopes using your hand, following according to the direction indicated by the arrows to get rid of any curls. Repeat the process several times on each envelope set of five. Don’t print on the reverse of envelopes (the side that has an open flap).
These guidelines are specifically for Canon printers, but they should be sufficient for all manufacturers. If you require more advanced printing capabilities, such as support for bypass tray systems or special paper stocks, contact the printing experts at the Gordon Flesch Company.
