Tray Lexmark 50G0853

The Tray Lexmark 50G0853 is an optional top-mounted paper handling accessory for compatible Lexmark laser/LED printers including models B2865dw, MS821n, MS821dn, MS823dn and MS825dn. Designed to increase input capacity and expand media handling, this tray accepts a range of media types and integrates with existing output expanders to help maintain continuous print workflows.

Advantages

This tray increases paper capacity to reduce the frequency of reloads, supporting up to 1,500 sheets of 20 lb (75 gsm) paper. It is compatible with envelopes, card stock, transparencies and labels, enabling mixed-media jobs without manual feeding. The unit installs on top of the printer for a compact footprint and works together with Output Expander accessories; when both an Output Expander and High Capacity Output Expander are present, the Output Expander must be mounted above the High Capacity Output Expander. The High Capacity Output Expander supports bin 'full' sensing to help monitor output status.

Suitable for

• High-volume office printing where extended input capacity is required
• Mixed-media jobs involving envelopes, card stock, labels or transparencies
• Environments using Output Expander or High Capacity Output Expander configurations

Key specifications

• Mounting position: top of printer
• Maximum paper capacity: up to 1,500 sheets (20 lb / 75 gsm)
• Supported media: envelopes, card stock, transparencies, labels and standard bond paper
• Compatibility: designed for specific Lexmark laser/LED models listed by manufacturer
• Integration: compatible with Output Expander and High Capacity Output Expander (installation order required)
• Output handling: High Capacity Output Expander supports bin 'full' sensing when installed

How to use

Install the tray on the top of a compatible Lexmark printer following the printer and accessory installation instructions. Load media into the tray in accordance with the specified orientation and capacity limits, not exceeding 1,500 sheets of 20 lb (75 gsm) paper. Select the appropriate media type and size in the printer driver or control panel before starting a print job to ensure correct feed and print settings. When combining with Output Expander accessories, verify the correct stacking order: the Output Expander must be installed above the High Capacity Output Expander.

Recommendations

Use standard, well-conditioned paper and store media in a dry environment to reduce jams. For mixed-media jobs, adjust feed and media type settings in the printer and perform a test print to confirm alignment. If both output expanders are used, check bin sensors and clear output frequently to avoid triggering full-bin signals.
