Rear __________________________________
    Printer Rear-Right Tray Open.eps   
1.On/Off Switch
2. Socket for Power Cord
3. Network Interface
The Network Interface has a protective “plug” which must 
be removed before connection can be made.
4. USB 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, hea vy print media, envelopes and 
custom paper sizes. 
When used with the Multi-Pu rpose 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.    
7. Parallel port
