Re: [CGUYS] Make a Straight Through Paper Path for a Brother Printer?
It's not something I ever need to do, but if you do a lot of printing on thick paper, I would buy a printer designed around that feature, not a 'multifunction' that, at best, might be jerry-rigged to do it.

Re: [CGUYS] Make a Straight Through Paper Path for a Brother Printer?
I have an Epson RX700. It has two paper paths, a front feed for regular paper, and a rear feed for thick paper and envelopes. Love it.

Re: [CGUYS] Make a Straight Through Paper Path for a Brother Printer?
Thanks db and Stewart for your suggestions of alternative machines, but those are inkjets. The Brother MFC 9840CDW Multifunction Printer is a color laser printer which Brother rates at 21 pages per minute, black or color. I've been looking for a color laser multifunction printer for a long time, and this machine has excellent user reviews. Alvin On Jan 22, 2008, at 8:24 AM, Rev.

All the Color Lasers I know of do not use a straight through pathway.

Re: [CGUYS] Make a Straight Through Paper Path for a Brother Printer?
Part of it may be the fact that it has to pass though multiple toners tog et it. I don't know. I do know that the copiers made by many (Cannon and Xerox) do get straight through paths, but they are much more expensive. Stewart At 10:55 AM 1/22/2008, you wrote: That's not good.

Re: [CGUYS] Make a Straight Through Paper Path for a Brother Printer?
It's not valuable to most people. What are you printing so much of that needs to be on really thick paper? It's nothing you can do at Staples? As I recall, most of the printers I've owned won't print when open. Yes, it might be a switch you could easily duck tape, but it seems to me if the manufacturer _could_ do that and advertise it as handling much thicker paper, they _would_.
