Choosing Printing Methods

The EPL-7000 offers you several printing methods. Your choices depend mainly on the type of paper or other print media you want to use.

Paper delivery method — Choose face-up output (with the optional face-up tray) or face-down output.

Paper feed method — Select either automatic or manual paper feed.

Paper delivery method

The printer can deliver paper face-down on top of the printer or face-up into the optional face-up tray. The advantage of printing face-down is that when the printed stack is turned over, the first page of the document is on top and the last page on bottom. The printer is factory-set for face-down delivery.

The optional face-up tray gives you an immediate look at your printed output. This method of delivery is recommended for printing on media such as labels, envelopes, and overhead transparencies that require a straight-through paper path.

To choose face-up delivery, install the optional face-up output tray as described in Appendix A. Move the paper path lever on the drive unit to the FACE UP position, as shown below.
