4.Network Interface
5.Duplex Unit
6.Rear Stacker (face up)
•Capacity 100 sheets
•When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits 
the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked 
face up. 
•This is used for labels, heavy print media, envelopes and 
custom paper sizes. 
•When used with the Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper path 
through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids 
bending the print media around curves in the paper path 
and makes paper feeding more reliable.
