If you go to the technical side, the most probable cause would be the pick arm assembly and the acm clutch. It is the part located under the printer where the tray is. By the way, this applies to all Color and Mono Printers;

For Color printers

Now here's the quick fix! Don't be surprise.
Remove the standard tray, and locate the pick tires or rubber tires underneath the printer where the tray is located. Just remove the white rubber tires, they're stretchable so just move it to the side. Wash it with clean water and soap. Dry it well, then put it back on. Put the tray back in, and make a test print. 95 percent of the time, this trick works.
That's it. If you have additional question or concern please leave a comment below.

I bought a Lexmark MS312dn today and that's exactly what happened to me. Wasted about 3/4 hr checking I had cleared all the packaging etc, tray settings, even wondered if they had mixed up tray 1 & 2. In the end found your article and tried washing the white tires as suggested, and it immediately worked. Not a great advert for Lexmark. I just hope I will not have to do this frequently!
I should have said thank you for your suggestion.
You're welcome, Steve. Call Lexmark and ask for the replacement pick tires. This is a temporary fix. I believe the problem is with the materials used for these pick tires. They will be giving you a new set of pick tires colored (green) for FREE.
It does work! I was given a brand new CS310N a few months ago as a backup printer (my Fujixerox C1110B was slowly dying), and I kept it unboxed until this week. My initial experience was similar to Steve Kadwell's, and then I found your post. Thanks a lot!
I'm thinking of asking Lexmark for a pair of new tires, but there is one issue. I checked the purchase date on the box (a friend of mine bought it long ago for no apparent reason and kept it unopened in a storage), and it says June 2013. That seems ages ago, and it definitely can't be covered by warranty. Yet, I still do have the original tires in mint condition. Do you have any link to the replacement policy of these parts? I'm living in Taiwan, where Lexmark is a bit under-represented, and I'd like to be prepared when talking to the local agent (if I find them at all).
Hi, Holden HK. I don't have the link for the replacement policy regarding this. But I'm sure they're aware of this issue, and should be able to give a replacement for the pick tires for you.
Just set up a "new" spare printer I had exactly this problem. Took the old tyres off the old printer (luckily not junked yet) and they immediately felt grippier despite being grubby and old. Bingo - worked first time. Very helpful blog - thanks.
I completely destroyed a printer and got another one, talked crap to lexmark saying it was a firmware issue etc etc. Load of crap. I saw your post and it worked. Just wow. A simple fix. Thanks a bunch for the easy simple fix
That's good to hear. You're all welcome. :)
I have a MS610 at the office that also prints a page and then tells me to load paper when the tray is full .. I open and close back the tray and it'll print one page and then the error comes up again. I tried as you suggested and cleaned the pick tires and this still occurs .. Any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
Installed a brand new MX410 onsite for clients today. Had me scratching my head for a good 30 minutes before finding this post. Washed the pick tyres and the problem was gone. Thanks for the post.
Thanks very much! I hadn't used my Lexmark 544dn for some time, and after replacing an empty toner cartridge it only produced a couple of 1-page prints before failing with just the symptoms you describe on this page. After a quick trip to the bathroom sink, the tires were refitted and now paper is being fed through normally.
Cheers, Paul D.
Thank's a lot! I have been struggling with this problem for about two years, and with this simple solution the problem suddenly disappears!
Once again, thank you!
Mattias, Sweden
Need your help!
My MJ312dn printer will print two blank sheets and then give the error of "load tray 1 with plain paper." This is anytime I try and print. Always two blank sheets and then error.
So thank you for this helpful information.

You're a genius. Thank you. Now I can stop screaming abuse at my printer.
I have a NOS ms415dn that i just opened and had the same issue with paper pickup. i washed the wheels, no luck. I flipped the wheels inside out and it worked. might be worth a shot if you are still having issues.
