The advantage of printing facedown is that when the printed stack is turned over, the pages are collated from first page to last. On the other hand, the tace-up output tray gives you immediate viewing of your printed output. The face-up method of delivery is necessary for printing on media that require a straight-through paper path, such as envelopes, labels, heavy paper, and overhead transparencies. To select face-up printing, simply move the paper path selector (located on the left side of the printer) to the down position. Also be sure that the face-up output tray is installed. (See Chapter 1 for details.) To select facedown printing, move the paper path selector to the up position.
