Bypass tray 4
Overview
Transport drives
The bypass tray 4 is a media feeding device integrated into the IME. The bypass tray can be
folded away when not in use.
The main function of the bypass tray is to enable the loading of special material that is either
not already in a paper tray, or that cannot be fed from existing trays.
Configuration
The paper tray will accept 100 sheets either A4 or 8.5 x 11 inch of 80 gsm, (20 lb.).
The main features of the bypass are:

Media Loading and Registration
The top edge registration of the stack is achieved by the user pushing the synchronously mov-
ing media guides against the front and rear edges of the stack.
This de-skews and registers the stack in the cross process direction.
The user must then push the stack forward into the bypass feeder until its lead edge touches
the registration gate. The registration gate consists of two pairs of vertical fingers aligned sym-
metrically around the centre of the paper path.
