How to install Lexmark 250-Sheet Tray

Installing the Lexmark 250-Sheet Tray is a quick, tool-free process designed to minimize downtime and get you back to printing fast. Follow these straightforward steps to ensure secure seating, proper alignment, and reliable feeding for a wide range of media:

• Step 1: Power off the printer and, if applicable, unplug it from the power source to ensure safe handling during tray installation.
• Step 2: If a previous tray is installed, remove it carefully according to the printer’s manual, keeping the area clean and free of debris that could affect feeding.
• Step 3: Align the Lexmark 250-Sheet Tray with the printer’s tray guides. Gently slide the tray into the printer until it seats firmly and you hear or feel a secure engagement.
• Step 4: Extend the paper guides and adjust them to match the size of the media you plan to load. Ensure the guides rest snugly against the stack without bending the paper edge.
• Step 5: Load your chosen media, fanning the stack lightly if necessary to reduce sticking or feeding issues. Do not exceed the tray’s maximum fill line, and make sure the stack is level.
• Step 6: Close the tray or any access doors, reconnect power if you had unplugged the unit, and power on the printer. Configure the tray in the printer settings or driver to reflect the loaded media size and the tray number.
• Step 7: Run a test print to verify smooth feeding, proper alignment, and output quality. If feed issues occur, re-check the guides and ensure the media weight and type are within supported ranges.
