Cleaning for lower tray jams: paper pick roller
Approximate time to complete: 5 minutes
If you are experiencing media feeding problems including mispicks and
multiple picks at the Lower Paper Tray Assembly, you can generally correct
the problem by cleaning the media-pick roller with isopropyl alcohol. Refer
to ÒUsing isopropyl alcoholÓ on page 5-15 for more information.
The printer guides you through the necessary steps to perform automatic
cleaning procedures. You will need the pick roller cleaning tray included in
the cleaning kit when you run the Clean: Media Tray Jams routine
from the printerÕs front panel. You can also clean the media pick roller by
hand using an alcohol-soaked cloth; refer ÒCleaning the lower paper-pick
roller manuallyÓ on page 5-38.
