Face Up Paper Output Area
The paper is delivered with the printed side up from the face up paper output at the 
rear of the machine. 
This way is convenient for printing on transparencies, or envelopes which tend to 
curl, because the paper is delivered straight through out of the machine.
Open the face up cover.
•Remove the delivered paper one by one.
IMPORTANT
•Do not pull the paper forcibly.
•This machine has no face up output tray. Remove the delivered paper with your hand.
•Do not place an object in front of the face up paper output to prevent a paper jam.
