stacker.

When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits 
through the rear of the printer and is stacked face up. The rear 
stacker is mainly used for heavy print media. When used in 
conjunction with the Multi Purpose Tray, the paper path 
through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending 
the paper around curves in the paper path inside the printer 
and enables feeding of up to 54 lb. (203g/m²) media.

point. Holds up to 150 sheets at
