In the Stack Bypass

Return to Overview

If you are making prints on transparencies, labels, nonstandard size paper, or envelopes, load them into the stack bypass.


Remark
  • Note the following points when you are making prints on envelopes:
  • Use standard envelopes with diagonal seams and flaps.
    To prevent jams, do not use the following:
    To prevent jams
    • Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or double flaps
    • Envelopes made with special coated paper or deeply embossed paper
    • Envelopes with peel-off sealing strips
    • Envelopes with letters enclosed
  • Make sure to set the correct envelope size in the printer driver. (See "Printing Functions.")

  1. Pull out the stack bypass extension until it clicks, then open it.

  1. Load the paper into the stack bypass.

Insert the paper stack as far as it will go.


  • To print on the back side of preprinted paper:
  • Load the preprinted paper face up into the stack bypass, as shown in the illustration below.

  • When the paper is loaded into the stack bypass, the side facing down is the one printed on.

The screen for selecting the paper size appears.

  • Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper limit guide.
  • Some types of paper may not feed properly into the stack bypass. For high quality copies, be sure to use the paper and transparencies recommended by Canon.
  • When making copies of a small document or thick paper, etc., the copy speed may be slightly slower than usual.
  • If there are instructions on the paper package about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions.
  • If problems, such as poor print quality or paper jams occur, try turning the paper stack over and reload it.

  • If you are loading envelopes into the stack bypass:
  • Gently load the stack of envelopes with the address side facing down and the flap side to the left. Be sure to insert the envelopes as far as they will go. When you load the envelopes, arrange the stack of envelopes on a firm, clean surface first, then press down firmly on the edges to make the folds crisp.



  1. Adjust the slide guides to the width of the paper stack.
  • Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper limit guide.
  • Some types of paper may not feed properly into the stack bypass. For high quality copies, be sure to use the paper and transparencies recommended by Canon.
