How to install Lexmark 550-Sheet Tray Insert
Installing the Lexmark 550-Sheet Tray Insert is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, proper fit and optimal performance:
- Power down the printer and unplug the power cord before starting any maintenance or replacement.

- Remove the existing tray insert or empty it, taking care to preserve any guides or alignment rails that can be reused with the new insert.
- Align the new Lexmark 550-sheet tray insert with the guides in the printer, ensuring that the rails slide smoothly and the insert sits flush in the slot.
- Gently push the tray into place until it seats firmly. Reattach any covers or panels that were removed, then reinsert the lower tray if applicable.
- Plug the printer back in, power it on, and update the tray size or paper type settings in the printer’s control panel to reflect the new capacity. Run a test print to confirm proper feeding.
