We answer a lot of questions about printing on the coloured cardboard sheets from the SEC student office currently. The printers default to A4 plain paper from the printer trays. If you want to print on your own paper, you need to select the bypass tray in the print dialogue box before you submit your print job.
Many of you will probably only want to print the cover sheet of your dissertation on your own paper, so please bear in mind to only select the current page instead of the whole document.
Here are the settings you need to change in

Place your paper in the Bypass Tray and release the job.

Select File and Print
- Select the third drop down menu ‘Copies and Pages’
- Select ‘Paper Feed’ from the list
- In the ‘Paper Feed’ drop down box select ‘Bypass tray’ or any tray that is listed as ‘Manual’.
Place your paper in the Bypass Tray and release the job.
