I've had this for some time but it's been idle -- haven't printed a color page in years but have some current graphics would like to make some prints of...anyway, brought it back upstairs from storage and started to clean up the dust bunnies and all to put in new cartridges, etc., ... There are three loose little leaf spring-like pieces that clearly(?) are part of the paper guide that were loose inside; looks like they simply fell from where they belong at some time when it was placed in a non-upright position. For the life of me, it's been so long since used it I don't recall where they were and I can't figure out exactly how they did go. There are three areas obvious, two for handling full 8-1/2 width and the third to handle narrow stock by spacing but just how they went escapes me. Know it's an extreme outside chance anybody here has one of these or remembers one well enough to help but thought I'd take a chance't... I did a fair amount of googling and looking on Lexmark site last evening but no joy in finding mention of these puppies, unfortunately, and no pictures nor drawings that could pick 'em out on...
