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.

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.

Try the Canon PIXMA MP520. It is a multifunction printer which has
two paper paths. Really nice machine.

Thanks Tony, but as you can see from what I wrote above, there are
other considerations that command the selection of this machine.

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.

I'm interested in purchasing a Brother MFC 9840CDW Multifunction
Printer, but I don't like the fact that it (and similar Brother
printers) does not have a straight through paper path.
However, the back of this printer opens to remove paper jams, and
it seems to me that if one could defeat the interlock switch, that
perhaps the open back would allow a straight through paper path. I
asked Brother about this in an e-mail, but they refused to address
it. I saw a similar Brother model in a store, but in that brief
period, I was not able to locate the interlock switch.
Has anyone had experience with doing this with a Brother printer?
Has anyone had experience with doing this with any other printer?
Thanks,
