I think this discussion got a little confused.  The posting I responded to
said that one of the advantages of the *DeskWriter* was that the paper was
partially covered while in the paper tray, thus helping to keep dust from
settling on it.  I was pointing out that it wouldn't matter if dust did
settle on the paper, since the *DeskWriter* prints on the underside of the
paper.  That is, if one considers lack of dust on the printed side of the
paper to be an advantage, then the *DeskWriter* is perfect since dust cannot
settle at all on the printed side.
