REAR VIEW
This view shows the connection panel, the rear output stacker 
and the location of the optional duplex (two-sided printing) unit.
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 feed 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 200g/m² media.
