Cleaning for lower tray jams: paper-feed rollers

Approximate time to complete: 5 minutes

The Lower Paper Tray AssemblyÕs paper-feed rollers carry the paper from the lower paper tray up to the printerÕs feed rollers. Occasionally, paper particles become attached to the Lower Paper Tray AssemblyÕs paper feed rollers creating slick or contaminated surfaces. When media feed problems occur from the lower tray, you can generally correct the problem by scrubbing the paper-feed rollers using an alcohol-soaked cleaning card.
