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 or creasing
- Tracing or photo paper is not compatible
- Do not place card into any of the paper trays, it could jam and damage the printer and your media
To use this facility you need to access the Printer Properties. You can do this on most applications as follows:
- Select File
- Select Print
- Select Printer Properties. Another window will open called 'MyPrint Document properties'
- On this new window select the Paper/Quality tab
- Change Paper source to Tray 1 the bypass tray
- Change Paper type to your media type. Card is typically 120g
- If single-sided printing is required then go to the Finishing tab and untick Print on both sides
- If staples are required then go to the Output tab and change as required
- If colour output is required then go to the Color tab and untick Print in Grayscale
- At the printer check that the bypass tray is open. Insert your media inside the moveable guides. Place the side to be printed on face down. If your media has a top of the page this should be placed furthest away from you
- Login to the printer by tapping your card
- Select Print Release
- On the Print Release screen select the job to print
- Select the Print button to print the job to your media in the bypass tray
