Sawgrass Bypass Tray for SG500 & SG1000 Printers

The Multi-Bypass tray is the most impactful accessory available for a Sawgrass printer. This additional tray fits into the back of your printer, allowing you to use media sizes that the main tray cannot accommodate. It effectively transforms your desktop unit into a long-format machine, ideal for printing banners, socks, scarves, tumbler wraps, and other larger transfers.

Key Features

• Primary Color: White
• Accepted Media Weight:
  • SG400/500- 16–68 lb bond / 140 lb index (60–255 gsm)
  • SG800/1000- Roughly 16 lb Bond to 140 lb (60-256 gsm)
• Dramatically Extended Print Lengths — The SG500 bypass tray loads sublimation paper up to 8.5" x 51", while the SG1000 version loads 13" x 19" sheets and paper up to 51" long. That's over four feet of continuous print from a desktop printer!
  • The 13" x 19" capability on the SG1000 makes it ready for some of the largest desktop items, including signs and jigsaw puzzles.
• Extra 100-Sheet Capacity- Holds up to 100 additional sheets, doubling as a second paper source. Keep transfer paper in the main tray and specialty or long-format media in the bypass tray to switch between jobs without reloading.
• Straight-Through Paper Path- Provides a straight paper path to reduce jams and maintain print accuracy, especially for long, narrow media like sock and scarf transfers.
• Handles a Wide Media Range- Supports media from 2.1" × 5.0" up to the maximum print size, including envelopes, with paper weights from 16–140 lb (60–255 g/m²).
• Tool-Free Installation- Simply press the gray side buttons, snap the tray onto the back of the printer, enable it in the driver, and it appears as a selectable paper source. The SG1000 version also includes an anti-topple stand secured with a coin screw.
• Legacy Compatibility- Existing SG400 and SG800 bypass trays are forward-compatible with the SG500 and SG1000, making upgrades more affordable and eliminating the need to purchase a new tray.

How do I use the bypass tray for my Sawgrass sublimation printer?

Loading your Sawgrass bypass tray is simple! First, load your sublimation paper into the bypass tray. Then, when you're ready to print, select "Bypass Tray" as your paper source instead of "Main Tray/strong>." If you don't see the option, make sure the bypass tray is enabled in your printer settings before printing.
