The Face-up Output Tray

The printer delivers paper face-down on top of the printer. If you want face-up delivery, you can install the optional face-up output tray. The face-up output tray gives you immediate viewing of your printed output. This method of delivery is also recommended for printing on media such as labels, heavy paper, and overhead transparencies that require a straight-through paper path.

Installing the face-up output tray

To install your optional face-up tray, you must first install the drive unit to the rear of the printer as described below. This section also includes instructions for tray removal.

WARNING: If the printer has been used recently, the rear of the printer may be hot. Let it cool before you remove the printer’s rear cover.

Note: When this tray is installed and you open the printer cover, the face-up tray touches the desktop and the paper support falls back. Before you install the tray, make sure there is at least 15.7 inches (400 mm) of unobstructed area at the back of the printer. Otherwise, the tray may hit an obstruction and break when you open the printer.
