Lexmark 550 Sheet Tray Cx83X 95X 96X Cs96X Mx95X

Boost office productivity with the Lexmark 550-Sheet Tray, an essential expansion designed to maximize throughput and minimize downtime for busy workgroups, corporate departments, and home offices. This high-capacity input tray instantly increases your printer’s capacity, enabling longer print runs between refills while preserving consistent output quality. With a generous 550-sheet capacity for standard 20 lb (75 gsm) paper and broad support for media weights from 60 gsm to 300 gsm, it’s the practical upgrade for workflows that demand speed, reliability, and quiet operation. Installed directly beneath the printer, the tray creates a compact, integrated printing station that keeps your workspace tidy and your focus on core tasks. From multi-page reports to forms and light-weight brochures, the Lexmark 550-Sheet Tray is engineered to reduce interruptions and elevate today’s productivity.

• Maximized throughput with high-capacity loading: The 550-sheet tray minimizes reloads during long print runs, letting you push through multi-page reports, brochures, and forms without constant interruptions. This translates to faster turnaround times and fewer workflow disruptions, which is especially valuable during tight deadlines or high-demand printing cycles. Its robust design is built to endure frequent loading and heavy usage, so you can rely on steady performance day after day.
• Versatile media support for professional documents: Designed to handle a wide range of media weights from 60 gsm to 300 gsm, the tray accommodates everything from standard correspondence to heavier materials like light-weight card stock and forms. This versatility makes it an ideal upgrade for offices that print varied materials in-house, enabling crisp text and consistent page feeding across different stock—with less time spent switching trays or reformatting documents.
• Intelligent feeding with automatic paper size sensing: The tray detects paper size automatically when loaded, optimizing feed settings to preserve consistent output across jobs. This intelligent sensing reduces guesswork, aligns pages accurately, and minimizes misfeeds, even during high-volume runs. Paired with the printer driver, it ensures pages print cleanly and match your intended layout with minimal intervention.
• Under-printer, space-saving design for a tidy workspace: Installed directly below the printer, the 550-Sheet Tray delivers a compact, low-profile solution that keeps your desk, shelf, or tabletop uncluttered. Its sturdy construction and lack of casters contribute to a stable, stationary setup that blends seamlessly with Lexmark printer configurations, helping maintain a clean and professional workspace without adding bulk or floor space requirements.
• Durable, quiet performance for high-volume environments: Built to withstand frequent loading and sustained use, the tray emphasizes reliable paper guides and durable materials that maintain alignment across long print runs. The design prioritizes quiet, efficient operation, reducing noise during busy office hours while delivering consistent results and fewer jams. This reliability supports smoother turnarounds and allows staff to stay focused on essential tasks.
