REAR VIEW
This view shows the connection panel and the rear output stacker.
*  The Network Interface may have a protective “plug” which must be removed before connection can be 
made.
When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the 
printer and is stacked here face up. This 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 and enables 
feeding of up to 203g/m² media.
