Open the Straight-Through Exit
Normally the printer feeds documents face
down into the top exit tray . If you will be
printing special media such as transparencies,
thick paper or labels, open the
straight-through exit path, then specify it in
the driver when you are printing on special
media (see “Selecting the Straight-Through
Exit Path in the Driver” under Exit Paths in
the on-line User’s Guide).
If you always want to use the straight-through
exit, you can set it as the default (see
Changing the Default Exit Path in the on-line
User’s Guide).

and pivot out the extenders.
