The output is spewed into a telescopic tray at the front. When printing, paper is fed in via a tray on the rear that holds up to 150 sheets. This allows you to sit a multi-page document in the feeder and have the individual sheets automatically copied or faxed one at a time - that will prove handy for those who want to use the printer in a home office. On top of the scanner, the 2170 has an automatic document feeder that can accept up to 25 sheets. Below this panel, on the left-hand side, there's both a multi-format card reader for printing photos and a USB PictBridge port so you can connect your camera directly to the printer. There's also a numerical keypad so you can enter fax numbers. Next to the screen there's a pretty busy control panel that has dedicated buttons for copying, scanning, faxing and printing photos. The screen is fine for tasks like setting up the number of photocopies to be made, but it seems very small when you're working with pictures. On the front, there's a small, 1.5-inch colour screen.
