REAR VIEW
This view shows the connection panel and the rear output 
stacker.

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 203g/m² media.

point. Holds up to 150 sheets at
