Tray 5 (Bypass) is located on the left side of the printer/copier. Tray 5 (Bypass) can accommodate transparencies and other specified paper stocks, and various paper sizes up to 12x18 in. Tray 5 (Bypass) has the capacity to hold up to 100 sheets.

1­17

USER GUIDE (COPIER)

Auto Size Detect for Tray 5 (Bypass)
Certain standard paper sizes can be automatically detected in Tray 5 (Bypass) by selecting Auto Size Detect on the Tray 5 programming screen. The following paper sizes can be used with the Auto Size Detect feature: · · US/Canada - 5.5x8.5 in. LEF/SEF, 8x10 in. LEF, 8.5x11 in. LEF/SEF, 8.5x13 in. SEF, 8.5x14 in. SEF, 11x17 in. SEF. Europe - A5 LEF/SEF, A4 LEF/SEF, A3 SEF, B5 LEF/SEF, B4, Postcard (100 x 148mm).

All other paper sizes must be specified using the selections under Standard Size, or by inputting the size under Non-standard size. For example, you must specify 12x18 inch when using that paper size. NOTE: A paper size mismatch message will be displayed if you try a job with Auto Size Detect selected and a paper size that is not included in the list above.

Auto Tray Switching
The Auto Tray Switching feature enables the printer/copier to automatically switch to another tray when a tray runs out of paper. The trays must be loaded with the same size paper in the same orientation (long edge feed or short edge feed). Auto Tray Switching must be enabled in System Settings mode, with the same paper type assigned to two or more trays. Auto Tray Switching may be enabled only for Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4. Tray 5 (Bypass) cannot be enabled for Auto Tray Switching. The default for Auto Tray Switching is On with Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 enabled. To use Auto Tray Switching with the default settings, load the trays you want to use with the same size paper in the same orientation. Select the paper tray button for the tray with the lowest number on the Control Panel. For example, if you load Trays 1 and 2 with the same size paper and the same orientation, select the Tray 1 Paper Supply button on the Basic Copying tab of the Touch Screen. The printer/copier draws from Tray 1 until it is empty, then switches automatically to Tray 2.

1­18

USER GUIDE (COPIER)

Loading Stock Paper
Load the paper into Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 with the preferred printing side up.

Load the paper into Tray 5 (Bypass) with the preferred printing side down.

The capacity of the tray varies with the paper weight that is loaded in the tray. NOTE: For the best results, use only the recommended paper sizes, paper weights, or paper types. If you do not use recommended papers, you may experience copy quality problems, paper jams, or possible component failures. If you are loading pre-drilled paper load it into Tray 5 (Bypass) with the undrilled long edge as the leading edge (holes to the left) for 1 sided output, the undrilled long edge as the trailing edge (holes to the right) for 2 sided output.

1­19

USER GUIDE (COPIER)

NOTE: Do not load paper above the fill line of the paper tray edge guides. NOTE: Fan the desired paper before loading it into the Tray. Straighten the paper stack each time the paper tray is opened. Close the paper tray slowly to avoid shifting the paper stack. This ensures that the paper is in the correct position when the paper tray is in the operating position. If paper feeding or copy curl problems occur, flip the paper over in the tray and make the copies again. If the performance improves, continue to load the paper in this manner. Testing has shown that paper handling and copy performance vary with room temperature, humidity, paper quality, image area on copies, etc. All of these variables interact and, in some cases, you must decide which paper loading method works best. NOTE: Coated papers are very susceptible to humidity. Multifeeds are much more likely with humidity greater than 40%. Environmental conditions may require that coated paper be fed one sheet at a time from Tray 5 (Bypass).

1­20

USER GUIDE (COPIER)

Transparencies
Transparencies can only be fed from Tray 5 (Bypass). Stripeless transparencies are recommended. Striped transparencies must be loaded with the stripe face up, on the left side of the tray. NOTE: Use only the transparencies recommended in the Recommended Materials for the WorkCentre 24. After loading the transparencies you can program the copier printer to insert a blank separator page between transparencies by using the Transparency Separators feature. For more information about the Tranparency Separators feature, refer to the section entitled Transparency Separators, in this chapter. Follow these guidelines to prevent static build up when using transparencies: · · · Place no more than twenty 8.5x11 inch or A4 transparencies in Tray 5 (Bypass) at one time. Place only one 11x17 in. or A3 transparency in Tray 5 (Bypass) at a time. Remove the transparencies from the Center Output Tray before running additional sets.

NOTE: Transparencies cannot be delivered to the Finisher Tray.

For more specific information about materials that have been tested and approved for use in the WorkCentre 24, refer to the Recommended Materials for the WorkCentre 24. Information is also available off the main Xerox web site (www.xerox.com) and will be updated periodically.
