Tray Lexmark 50G0850 500 sheets

The Lexmark 50G0850 500 sheets tray provides additional output and media handling for compatible Lexmark printers. It supports stacking of paper, card stock and transparencies and accepts up to 500 sheets of unstapled paper (20 lb., 75 gsm). The tray is compatible with a Staple Finisher that offers single‑position stapling and supports offset output when combined with finishing accessories.

Advantages

This 500‑sheet tray expands paper capacity without increasing footprint significantly, with compact dimensions (435 mm W x 414 mm D x 246 mm H). It enables reliable stacking of different media types and integrates with optional finishers such as an Offset Stacker or a 4‑Bin Mailbox for additional output. When used with a Staple Finisher, smart sensing reports finisher bin status and low or empty staple supply, and staple cartridges are easy to replace.

Suitable for

• Offices that need extra paper capacity for high‑volume print jobs
• Environments requiring mixed media handling (paper, cardstock, transparencies)
• Workflows using finishing accessories (stapling, offset stacking, mailbox bins)

How to use

Install the tray into the printer according to the printer’s installation instructions; it slides into the designated tray bay and locks in place. Load up to 500 sheets of unstapled paper (20 lb., 75 gsm), adjusting paper guides to fit the selected media size (A4, A5, Oficio, Folio). When using with a Staple Finisher, ensure the finisher is properly connected and configured in the printer settings to enable stapling and offset output functions.

Recommendations

Use standard bond paper (20 lb./75 gsm) for maximum capacity and reliable feeding; separate heavier card stock and transparencies into smaller batches. Replace staple cartridges in the Staple Finisher in the provided refill packs (3 cartridges per pack) and monitor smart sensing notifications for low or empty staple and finisher bin status.
