Hi,
Experienced technical support provide their insights in answering this question :
The “Load Tray 1 with A4 paper” means the printer is looking for A4 size paper in Tray 1 and that is not what it is detecting. You need to make sure that the paper size that is in the tray matches what the printer is expecting so it understands that it should be looking for a specific size of paper. If you are printing on regular Letter size paper – set the printer tray to Letter instead of A4 and message should go away.
How to Identify and Fix Common printer Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced technical support :
The Load Tray 1, Tray 1 Missing, or Insert Tray 1 error messages indicate that the printer has failed to detect the tray. The Tray Low or Tray Empty errors indicate that one or more of the tray sources are empty or low.
Solution. Open the tray for more than one second, verify that paper is loaded, and then close the tray. This should eliminate the “Tray Empty” message so the printer can resume printing.
Improve printer performance by selecting the optimum paper type for the tray. You can select from the following paper types: Tray 1. [Thin Paper], [Thick Paper 1], [Thick Paper 2], [Plain Paper], [Recycled Paper], [Color Paper], [Preprinted], [Prepunched], [Letterhead], [Bond Paper], [Cardstock], [Label Paper]
Open Tray 1 by grasping the handles on the left and right side of the tray and pulling down. Slide out the tray extension. For long paper, flip out the tray extension to support the paper. Press down on the tab on the right paper guide, and then spread the paper guides to the correct size.
The paper tray is empty or overloaded. The paper is curled. The print side, or shiny side, of the paper is not loaded in the paper tray face up. For photo paper, always load the rougher side of the paper facing down.
Your printer ships with at least 64MB of memory.
Tray 1 (standard tray) is the factory default setting.
On the Windows taskbar, click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Devices and Printers. Right-click your product, and then select Printing Preferences. From the Printing Preferences menu, select Paper/Quality. From the Paper Source drop-down menu, select Tray 2.
Double-sided copying options: 1-Sided -> 2-Sided = Your originals are single-sided but you want double-sided copies 2-Sided -> 2-Sided = Your originals are double-sided and you want double-sided copies 2-Sided -> 1-Sided = Your originals are double-sided but you want single-sided copies.
Open the tray and do one or more of the following: Check for paper jams or misfeeds. Check if the paper size indicators on the paper guides are aligned with the paper size indicators on the tray. If you are printing on custom‑size paper, then make sure that the paper guides rest against the edges of the paper.
An example message would be 024-965 Load Tray 1 Letter Plain. This indicates that the print job sent has requested Letter sized Plain paper from Tray 1. If tray 1 is empty, loaded with A4 sized Plain paper, or Letter sized Thick paper this error will occur.
If there is paper in the tray but the printer is not picking the paper, open the tray and flip the paper stack over. Load a fresh ream of paper and observe whether the issue remains. If the issue persists, remove the whole tray out and inspect the bottom of the tray for any paper debris or obstructions.

Lexmark paper feed problems
ANSWER : On my X204n Lexmark laser printer, it was doing the same thing you described – basically sounded like it was trying to pick up the paper from the tray and then failing after several seconds. When you’d open the paper tray, the paper looked like it had been partially taken up with some black scuff marks on the paper that lined up with the rollers that take up the paper. I inspected the rollers and although they looked a bit smooth and worn, didn’t seem like they should be a problem. However, this particular model has just a rubber tire almost like a car tire – the rubber can come off the hard plastic wheel on the inner portion. So I popped off the two rubber “tires”, turned them inside out and put them back on. When turned inside out, the rubber looked nice and … rubbery and had a lot more grippy feeling to them. The very first printing attempt after that and the paper sucked up perfectly with no problems. I think the problem is solved! So if you have similar “tires” that take up the paper, try flipping them and see if it works for you too.

Tray 1 (upper tray) paper feed problem
ANSWER : There is no way of adjusting the distance of lift. Could be that the pickup roller is worn enough that it will pick up a sheet that is higher, but not one that is lower down. You can look at the end of the roller that first makes contact and see if it is worn smooth.

Lexmark X4650 paper Jamming!!
ANSWER : Well I had two printers that had similar issues – misalignment of paper feed which rendered both printers useless. I shook the Lexmark x4650 a couple of times and then plugged it in and got new paper and voila the misalignment was gone and it actually fed paper like it used to and printed it too.
