7.2 Installing the face-up tray 
The printer is fitted with a tray for face-down output. A tray for face-up out-
put is available as an option. This tray is especially useful for thick paper, 
envelopes, labels, and transparencies because the path through the print-
er is straighter. The face-up tray can hold up to 20 sheets.
Before installing the face-up tray:
1Remove the face-up output tray from its carton.
2Attach the face-up output tray by in-
serting the pins into the holes on the 
printer, one side at a time. Do not 
force both sides in at the same time.
❍The face-up tray must be bent 
slightly to insert it.
