Making Prints Using the Stack Bypass 2-412Basic OperationsMaking Prints Using the Stack BypassIf you are making prints on tracing paper, labels, transparencies, or nonstandardpaper size stock, load the paper stock into the stack bypass.IMPORTANT• Note the following points when using the stack bypass:- Paper Quantity: one to approximately 50 sheets (20 lb bond (80 g/m2 ), stackapproximately 1/4" (5 mm) high)- Paper Size: 3 7/8" x 5 7/8" to 11 5/8" x 17" (99 mm x 148 mm to 297 mm x 432 mm)- Paper Weight: 17 lb bond to 110 lb index (64 to 200 g/m2)- Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use, to allowthe paper to feed smoothly through the stack bypass (allowable curl amount: less than3/8" (10 mm) for normal paper, less than 1/5" (5 mm) for heavy paper). There are sometypes of paper stock which may meet the above specifications, but cannot be fed intothe stack bypass.• Do not load different size/type paper at the same time.• Feed tracing paper one sheet at a time, and remove each sheet as it is delivered to theoutput tray. Loading several sheets of tracing paper together may cause paper jams.• Depending on the type of heavy paper you want to load, if you load multiple sheets ofheavy paper into the stack bypass, a paper jam may occur. In this case, load only onesheet of heavy paper at a time.• If you are making two-sided prints, select the Two-sided mode. The printed paper maycrease depending on the moisture absorption condition of the paper, and if you copy thetwo pages as two one-sided documents.• To print on the back side of preprinted paper, load the paper into the stack bypass, andpress [2nd Side of 2-Sided Page] on the paper selection screen that appears.• When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sureto correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type ofpaper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, thefixing unit may become dirty and require a service repair, or the paper could jam.• If you select [Free Size] for copying, you cannot use the Auto, Entire Image, Finisher,1 2-Sided, 2 2-Sided, Book 2-Sided, Two-page Separation, Cover/Sheet Insertion,Image Combination, Shift, Booklet, Transparency Interleaving, Image Repeat, FormComposition, Pg/Copy Set Numbering, or Watermark/Print Date mode.
