Recommended actions

StepAction
1Remove the paper tray and look on the outside of it along the left-hand side.
2 Look for three tabs on the tray. See the image below for an example of how the tabs should appear when properly installed on the tray.

3 If one or more of the tabs are missing, see if you can locate them. If you do, try to reinstall them on the paper tray. If you cannot locate the tabs, or if you find them and they will not go back onto the tray properly, the paper tray will need to be replaced. Please contact Lexmark Technical Support for additional information or to set up warranty service.

IMPORTANT! Confirm that the printer is sitting on a flat, level surface. If the printer is installed on an uneven surface, the tabs on the tray may catch on the printer's frame and break off.
