Genuine Lexmark OEM Paper-Handling Component

Lexmark 550-Sheet Tray Insert

Replacement paper cassette for select Lexmark MS, MX, XM, MB, B, and M-series printers.

Tray Insert Only

This product is the removable 550-sheet paper tray/cassette insert. It is not the complete optional paper-feeder assembly, printer cabinet, or printer itself. Please inspect your existing tray and confirm that the tray insert is the component requiring replacement.

Restore Reliable Paper Storage and Feeding

The Lexmark 41X1118 is an OEM replacement 550-sheet tray insert designed for select Lexmark monochrome laser printers and multifunction devices. The tray holds and positions media before it enters the printer’s paper-feeding system.

A damaged, cracked, warped, or improperly seating tray may contribute to paper-feed interruptions, skewed pages, incorrect media positioning, or difficulty loading and adjusting paper. Replacing the affected tray can help restore proper media alignment and dependable operation.

Reasons to Replace the Tray Insert

• Tray is cracked, warped, or physically damaged
• Paper guides are broken, loose, or difficult to adjust
• Tray does not slide or seat correctly
• Media is not held squarely inside the cassette
• Pages repeatedly feed crooked from the affected tray
• Existing tray is missing or no longer usable

Paper-feed problems may also be caused by pickup rollers, separation rollers, sensors, guides, or the paper-feeder mechanism. Inspect the printer before ordering.

Installation and Setup

1. Remove all paper from the damaged or existing tray.
2. Pull the old tray completely out of the printer or feeder.
3. Adjust the replacement tray’s paper guides for the media size being loaded.
4. Load paper below the indicated maximum-fill line.
5. Slide the tray straight into the printer until it is fully seated.

Do not force the tray into position. If it does not slide smoothly, remove it and verify that the guides, media, and tray alignment are correct.

For Best Paper-Handling Performance

• Use only media sizes and weights supported by the printer.
• Adjust the paper guides so they lightly contact the media without bending it.
• Do not exceed the tray’s maximum-fill indicator.
• Keep paper dry, flat, and properly stored.
• Set the corresponding paper size and type on the printer after loading the tray.

Confirm Compatibility Before Ordering

Match part number 41X1118 with the replacement part required for your printer and verify the complete model designation on the device. Please select or provide your exact printer model before shipment.
