Loading paper and specialty media This section explains how to load the standard tray (Tray 1), also known as the 550-sheet tray, an optional 550-sheet tray, an optional 2,000-sheet tray, a multipurpose tray, and an optional 550-sheet specialty media drawer.
Do not remove trays while a job prints or while Busy blinks on the printer control panel. Doing so may cause a jam. 1 Grasp the handle, and then pull the tray out. Remove the tray completely. Notice the size indicators on the bottom of the tray. Use these indicators to help position the guides.
Notice the load line on the left side of the paper tray: it indicates the maximum height for loading paper. 3 Squeeze the length guide tabs together, and then slide the length guide to the correct position for the size of paper being loaded. Note: The length guide has a locking device.
When loading preprinted letterhead for simplex printing, place the header toward the front of the tray. 6 Align the tray, and then reinsert it. 7 If a different type of paper was loaded than the type previously loaded in the tray, then change the paper type setting for the tray from the printer control panel.

2 Gently pull the extension out until it is fully extended. 3 Prepare a media stack for loading. • Flex sheets of paper back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. • Hold transparencies by the edges, and then fan them.
4 Load the media stack with the recommended print side facedown and the top edge entering the printer first. Note: Load only one size and type of media at a time. 5 Load envelopes with the flap side up and the return address edge entering the printer first.
To unlink a tray, change the following tray settings so that they do not match the settings of any other tray: • Paper Type (for example: Plain Paper, Letterhead, Custom Type <x>) Paper Type names describe the paper characteristics.
Paper and specialty media guide Paper guidelines Paper characteristics The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when evaluating new paper stock. Weight The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 220 g/m 2 (16 to 58 lb bond) grain long.
Fiber content Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
Using recycled paper and other office papers As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for use in laser (electrophotographic) printers.
Supported paper sizes, types, and weights The following tables provide information on standard and optional paper input sources and the types of paper they support.
