You might be correct, but I don't think so.
This Brother MFC9840CDW printer is of a fairly new design. It does not
use a carousel.
The four toner cartridges are parallel to each other, and I think that
the paper makes only one pass over the cartridges. This is how the
machine achieves a print speed of 21 pages per minute for color or
black. There isn't any difference in print speed between color and
black as the paper path is the same.
In the old carousel design, the carousel did not rotate for black
only, and could achieve a print speed similar to a monochrome printer.
For color, the carousel had to rotate to put each of the cartridges in
print position, one at a time, and the paper had to be sent back to
traverse the print position four times. In the new linear design, all
four cartridges are always in print position.

However, if the back opens... (As I started out saying...)
You are missing the point. The paper in the printer has to do a loop
the
loop four times inside the printer. To get what you want the printer
would have to be unfolded and that woule make it about three feet
long.
That is not how these printers are made.
