Bypass Jam (In The Bypass Tray); Tips For Avoiding Paper Jams - Ricoh B173 Service Documentation

BYPASS JAM (In the Bypass Tray)

"BYPASS JAM " appears on the display when the machine does not detect paper
in the Bypass tray due to no paper or improper paper loading when you try to print
using the Bypass tray.
"BYPASS JAM " also may occur when the paper is not properly fed into the
machine through the Bypass tray. In that case, pull the paper out of the machine.

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. If a paper
jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in "Clearing Paper Jams "
• Follow the procedures in "Loading Paper". Ensure that the adjustable guides
are positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the paper tray. Ensure that the paper is below the paper
capacity mark on the inside wall of the paper tray.
• Do not remove the paper from the tray while printing.
• Flex, fan and straighten the paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in the paper tray.
• Use only recommended print materials. See "Paper Specifications "
• Ensure that the recommended print side is facing down when loading paper
in the paper tray and facing up in the Bypass tray.
