In order to accomplish this, certain settings have to be set before printing.

3. Print the document.

4. Open Bypass tray from the device and put papers or transparencies in. (Printing side downwards)

5. Align paper controllers so that they are touching papers or transparencies. Note! Only use transparencies that are suited for printing with laser printers!


6. Choose paper size and type from multifunction device .(Näkymä riippuu laitteesta.) Choose paper size and from Change button and choose paper thickness depending on paper type. Select Transparency as Paper Type when printing on transparencies.

7. Finally press OK and print out the job normally.


Note! A3 transparencies >> When device is waiting for paper from the bypass tray, select Normal. This is because the device does not know that A3 transparencies exist.

2. In Basic Settings tab you will find 1-sided/2-sided/Booklet Printing: where you can choose 1-sided, 2-sided, Booklet Printing. Press OK.
