Lexmark 43H0382 500-Sheet Paper Tray Feeder Optra S 1250 1650 1855 2450

The Lexmark 43H0382 is an OEM 500-sheet paper tray and feeder unit designed to expand the paper capacity of Lexmark Optra S series laser printers. It installs beneath the base printer, adding a second high-capacity paper source that allows continuous printing with less frequent reloading — useful in offices with moderate-to-high print volumes.

Applications

The Lexmark Optra S series was a line of high-performance networked laser printers from the late 1990s aimed at workgroup and departmental printing environments. The 43H0382 feeder is the standard optional high-capacity tray for that family, stacking under the printer to give it a second paper source. These feeders remain useful for anyone maintaining Optra S printers in legacy office, print shop, or light industrial document-processing environments. Replacement trays are commonly sought when the original becomes worn or damaged, making this a straightforward drop-in OEM replacement for the compatible models listed above.
