See P.39 "Copying from the Bypass Tray" Important Ì If you use damp or curled paper, a misfeed might occur. In such a case, try turning over the paper stack in the paper tray. If there is no improvement, change to copy paper with less curl. Note Ì Post cards should be fed from the bypass tray. Ì If OHP transparencies and translucent paper gets double-fed, set pages one sheet at a time. Ì If you load paper of the same size and in the same direction in two or more trays, the machine automatically shifts to another tray when the tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switch. This saves interrupting a copy run to replenish paper even when you make a large number of copies. You can cancel this setting. See "13. Auto Tray Switch" of the System Settings. Reference If you want to add paper, see P.66 "B Loading Paper". If you want to change the paper size, see P.72 "Changing the Paper Size". 19 Basics Envelopes 1 Note Ì When copying on envelopes, use the bypass tray and specify the size. See P.43 "When Copying onto Envelopes" Ì Specification of envelopes are as follows: Metric version Weight 72 ­ 90 g/m2 Inch version 19 ­ 24 lb Recommended weight and 72 g/m2, 114 × 162 mm (C6 24 lb, 37/8" × 71/2" (Monsize Env) arch) Ì You can load up to 10 envelopes (72 - 90 g/m2, 19 - 24 lb) onto the bypass tray at a time, without forcibly preassign them. However, make sure that the envelopes are not damp, and that the top of the stack is not higher than the limit mark on the side guide P.43 "When Copying onto Envelopes" Ì Load the envelopes with the flaps aligned to the right side fence. The flaps should be securely folded down. Ì Make sure that there is no air in the envelopes before setting. Ì To get the better copy quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom margin, to at least 15 mm (0.6") each. Ì Do not copy on both sides of envelopes. Ì Load only one size and type of envelope at a time. Ì Before loading envelopes, flatten the leading edges (side being fed into the printer) of them by running a pencil or ruler across them. 20 Copy Paper Ì Before setting envelopes, make sure that they are rectangular in shape. Refer to the following illustrations. Metric version Inch version 1 1 1 2 2 TS3X020E TS3X010E A Good construction for envelopes B Poor construction for envelopes A Good construction for envelopes B Poor construction for envelopes Ì Avoid using the non-supported envelopes listed on P.21 "Non-recommended Paper" Limitation Ì Even if you use the reccommended types of envelope as notes above, copied envelopes may come out wrinkled or smudged.
