The bypass tray can be used if you want to print onto other media for example your own card or paper but please note the following:

 

· Card should not be too rigid, maximum 220g - you should be able to bend it into a half circle without it tearing/creasing

· Tracing or photo paper is not compatible

· Do not place card etc. into any of the paper trays, it could jam and damage the printer & your media

 

To use this facility you need to access the Printer Properties. You can do this on most applications as follows: 

1. Select File

2. Select Print

3. Select Printer Properties - (another window will open "MyPrint Document properties"). 

 

Once on this screen:

4. Select the Paper/Quality tab

5. Change Paper source to Tray 1 the bypass tray

6. Change Paper type to your media type. Card is typically 120g

7. If single sided printing is required then go to the Finishing tab and untick Print on both sides

8. If staples are required then go to the Output tab and change as required

9. If colour output is required then go to the Color tab and untick Print in Grayscale

 

 

 

At the printer:

10. Check that the bypass tray is open (horizontal as shown). Insert your media inside the moveable guides (shown inserted Portrait).  Place the side to be printed on face down. If your media has a top of the page this should be paced furthest away

 

11. Login to the printer by tapping your card.

12. Select Print Release

13. On the Print Release screen select the job to print

14. Touch the Print button to print the job to your media in the bypass tray
