Description / Summary: This article will help you print on paper that is different than the typical plain white paper that’s pre-loaded in your device. This cheat sheet covers plain weight papers. For instruction on printing on card stocks, please see the article titled "How To: Print on Card Stock".

Simply placing your paper in the bypass tray will not necessarily prevent the device from switching to a different tray if it runs out of your paper half-way through printing, or from someone else’s job starting to print on your special paper if the main trays run out of plain paper. Use the steps below to ensure proper copying every time.

1. Log in (if device has user codes turned on).

2. Select the Copy function.

3. Place your paper in the bypass tray.

4. Select the Paper Type from the screen that pops up. Press Close to close the pop up screen.

5. Select any other setting you need.

6. Press Start.


Tips and Tricks: 

 Loading paper in the Bypass tray:

  • From the bypass tray all paper types will print on the bottom side, except for the Letterhead paper type.
  • When selecting Letterhead paper type from your driver, load the paper in the bypass tray face up so that you can read it, ie. Print face up, top of letterhead near the back of the device, bottom of letterhead nearest you.
  • Bypass tray will hold up to 150 sheets of plain weight paper.

See attached document for recommended settings for the common paper types.
