Making Prints Using the Stack Bypass 2-13Basic Operations2Making Prints Using the Stack BypassIf you are making prints on transparencies, labels, nonstandard paper size stock, orenvelopes, load the paper stock into the stack bypass.IMPORTANT• Note the following points when using the stack bypass:- Paper Quantity: one to 80 sheets (20 lb bond (80 g/m2 ), stacked approximately 3/8"(10 mm) high)- Paper Size: 3 3/4" × 5 7/8" to 11 3/4" × 17" (95 mm × 148 mm to 297 mm × 432 mm)- Paper Weight: 17 to 32 lb bond (64 to 128 g/m2)- Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use, to allowthe paper to feed smoothly through the stack bypass (allowable curl amount: less than3/8" (10 mm) for normal paper, less than 1/4" (5 mm) for heavyweight paper). There aresome types of paper stock which may meet the above specifications, but cannot be fedinto the stack bypass.• Do not load different size/type paper at the same time.• Feed label sheets one sheet at a time, and remove each sheet as it is delivered to theoutput tray. Loading several label sheets together may cause paper jams.• Depending on the type of heavyweight paper you want to load, if you load multiple sheetsof heavyweight paper into the stack bypass, a paper jam may occur. In this case, loadonly one sheet of heavyweight paper at a time.• When printing on special types of paper, such as heavyweight paper or transparencies,be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavyweight paper. Ifthe type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image.Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service repair, or the papercould jam.• If you are printing on envelopes, do not allow more than 10 envelopes to accumulate inthe output tray. Always empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have accumulated.NOTE• For high-quality printouts, use paper recommended by Canon.• For more information on paper types that can be used with this machine, see "AvailablePaper Stock," on p. 2-24.
