Chapter 5 Print Media Handling 5-7Print MediaHandlingSelecting Face-Up or Face-Down Delivery Paper PathUnderstanding how paper feeds through the machine will help you determine whichpaper delivery slot is appropriate for the print media and task you are performing.First, the paper travels to the cartridge where a laser beam “draws” the print image onthe drum, which in turn applies toner to the paper. The paper travels to the fixingassembly where the toner is “fixed” (fused) to the paper. It then exits the machinethrough the face-up delivery slot (front of the machine) or the face-down delivery slot(top of the machine). Before Setting the Paper Delivery SelectorBefore selecting paper delivery, be sure to take note of the following:• Always set the paper delivery selector before printing.• Changing paper delivery while the machine is printing will cause problems. Wait forthe printout to exit the machine completely before changing paper delivery.• The face-down delivery slot can hold up to approximately 50 sheets of paper. Toprevent paper jams, remove paper from this slot before 50 sheets print out.• Make sure there is enough room for the paper to exit from the face-up delivery slot.Remove each sheet as it is delivered from this slot.• Never pull the paper as it comes out of the machine.FACE-DOWNDELIVERYFACE-UP DELIVERYPAPERDELIVERYSELECTOR
