Change the tray button key or switch on the panel. It wears out with time and cannot be detected even if pressed.

SOURCE: Misfeed in tray one with no misfed paper. The

Pull out your paper tray (instructions below) and make sure there's not paper behind the tray blocking the motors from operating.

Else, worn rollers or broken lift motor.

First go to the service sim mode with the key combo # * C *

Type 22 - Start 9 - Start

If your tray 1 counter is above 100,000 your 3 rollers need to be changed. This is easily done by taking out the tray (you must tilt to the left and lift up at the end), unclipping and removing the paper guide, and unclipping and removing the 3 paper tires.

If your counter is under 100K try washing your rollers with soap and water, rubber cleaner and alcohol if you have it, but not Windex or 409. Your matched set of feed/sep tires should have some rough tread on them, if they are baby **** smooth its' replacement time.

If it pulls paper from a fresh stack and then stops pulling after a few sheets, the motor that continunally lifts the paper stack to meet the rollers has broken down, and can be replaced from the back of the machine.

Hi browngrand,

If the misfeed light does not go out, please look for any torn pieces of paper inside the machine leading from the bypass tray and remove them.

Please follow the steps below to correct the problem.

How do i print on cardboard (heavy paper card)
The mx2300n only supports up to 209gsm heavy card. You must make sure that your heavy card is not over this rating.
Set the bypass tray as 'Heavy' by clicking on the trays on the main copy mode screen, select type & size for bypass. Select heavy, and Auto AB as this will allow the tray guides to detect the size of your paper. Load the tray with up to 20 sheets of Heavy paper.
Open your document, select Print, then properties. Under the 'paper' tab, select paper source as bypass tray, and paper type as heavy (if you miss one of these steps, the ,machine will ask to load paper due to size or type mismatch).
That's pretty much it.

We have a 4250. When printing from our software we get a message that reads "manually feed tray 1" or "click the check mark to print from tray 2". No matter what settings i change i...
This is often caused by software asking for paper that is not loaded in the printer. You can use the paper path test function in the diagnostics menu to ensure that tray 2 is working properly. Also check your driver settings to make sure that the paper size shown in the driver matches what is actually loaded. You need to also check and make sure that the paper type for tray 2 is set for plain paper, otherwise the printer will only print to that tray if you ask for the paper type that is set.

Lexmark T632 has 2 (ea) 500 sheet drawers, but once the paper runs out in Drawer 1 it will not automatically pull from Drawer 2. Please advise how to fix this problem.
go to Menu, reports, and print out the top report.

This will show you what the printer sees as the default tray, and what paper size and type are set for each tray.

If you have plain paper in each tray, make sure that the setting page also shows that each tray is set to letter, plain.

This printer sets the tray type automatically, based on the way the tray is set. There are little tabs on the side of the tray that change as you change the size of the paper with the paper guides.

If the paper guide is set even one click off, this can cause the printer to read the paper size incorrectly, and thus will not change to the next tray. ( if it thinks that tray 2 is A4 paper, but you are printing letter, it will not change to tray 2).

if the trays ARE set correctly, but the printer is still reading it wrong, then there could be something wrong with the sensor ( metal fingers and switch ) inside the printer.

Lexmark e352dn-load manual plain letter message
In most cases if the printer is asking for an unexpected manual feed it is because the paper tray is not set to the right paper size or type. To set the paper size to the most common size and type (letter size plain paper) use the following instructions.

1. Press the Menu button.
2. Press the right arrow key until Paper Menu then press Check Mark.
3. Press the right arrow key until Size/Type then press Check Mark.
4. Press the right arrow key until Tray 1 then press Check Mark.
5. Press the right or left arrow key until Letter then press Check Mark.
6. Press the right or left arrow key until Plain then press Check Mark.
7. Press the back button until Ready is displayed.

This will set up your printer tray for plain letter paper and should relieve the manual feed error unless yourcomputer is sending other paper size/type settings.

Hp laserjet must manually push button to print
Hi,

Please print a configuration page from the control panel of the printer
- Menu > Information menu > print configuration.
- Check for paper handling details.
Following setting should reflect.
Tray 1: Any size / Any Type
Tray 2: A4 size / Plain Type

If the above settings are not reflecting in the configuration page, please change accordingly by browsing on the control panel of the printer to:
Paper Handling Menu >
Tray 1 Size: Any
Tray 1 Type: Any
Tray 2 Size: A4
Tray 2 Type: Plain

Let me know if that helps to solve the issue.

Regards,
Nikhil.
