Face down so when it goes through it copy's it and then spits it out at you face up
:9 Well man, that depends on your fax machine. It's different for different brands. I've had both kinds. How about you just try it out?
LOL--You're not an idiot, because it can vary with the FAX machine/model you're using. :) Most faxes these days require page to face up, but you may also see a small icon on the load tray that demonstrates how to load the pages.
